Faraway Tables Poetic Book Tour: Review from Impressions in Ink
The third stop on the Faraway Tables Poetic Book Tour brings a heartfelt review from Annette at Impressions in Ink. In her thoughtful analysis, Annette praises the collection’s ability to balance vivid sensory detail with emotional depth, highlighting the courage it takes to embrace life’s ongoing transitions.
Annette notes the collection is divided into four sections: Savor, Ache, Enough, and More (or Less), with an Epilogue featuring the final poem, “Taste.” She highlights several standout poems, each evoking a unique blend of reflection and emotion:
“Patience,” the collection’s opening poem, creates a sensory experience with its vivid imagery:
“Milky mist rolls along marshy grounds.”
Annette describes it as a poem that immerses readers in the sights, smells, and feelings of an early morning ritual.“Renovate,” the first poem in the Ache section, stands out for its rhythm and emotional resonance, blending frustration with hope for the future.
“Moments,” from the Enough section, reflects on the weight and significance of memories:
“How can I pin down moments,
select them, give them weight,
anchor those greatest hits, I wonder.”“Taste,” the final poem, captures the ritual of making tea, resonating with Annette as a tea lover. She describes it as a fitting conclusion to the collection.
Annette’s review highlights the balance of sensory imagery and emotional reflection that makes Faraway Tables a rewarding read. Her thoughtful insights make this another meaningful stop on the Poetic Book Tour.
