Beautifully Mundane
Beautifully Mundane
Praises of Stillness
In a time when we are sold the idea that life should be a series of blissed-out instagram-worthy moments, Beautifully Mundane is the opposite.
In brief poetic bursts, Alison E. Berman captures moments of subtle beauty while living in South America over the course of a year. Each poems helps the reader dial into a snapshot of present life, open space for its simple beauty to shine through, and experience poetry as a pathway to the present moment.
