Description

A short collection of poems and writings on relationships that capture snapshots and fragments of dreamlike memories.

Advance Praise

“These poems attempt to put into words certain experiences that are somehow beyond words—well, at least beyond a normal prose narrative. Through poetry, language can become brush strokes of new colors from the palette of dreams, the sounds of wind and sense of weather, the sensation of bodies touching, or maybe bittersweet longing. Some of us, when faced with the ineffable, go silent. But a few of the lucky ones, like Emma Grey Rose, are able to sing. So, let us listen.”

—George du Bois, screenwriter of Songs of the Minotaur


While each section is a name embodying a relationship in the poet’s life, each piece is a crystalline stalagmite straight out of the caves of coming of age. Slashes and parentheticals create a sense of urgency and splintered communication, and impart the jaggedness that remains in the speaker’s mind. Honest and raw, these’ll make you ache.  

—Shaun Anthony McMichael, author of JACK OF ALL…


All The Beautiful Things is a brilliantly written chapbook of intimate portraits that swirl like flowers in a bowl of etched glass for all to see. We watch the tender sprout of floral roots searching for ground in a world of shadows and light, love and loss. Such wide-eyed yearnings are so utterly word-perfect and pure, they are heartbreaking.”

—Karen Pierce Gonzalez, author of Coyote in the Basket of My Ribs, Down River with Li Po
