The Way She Blooms

Gegenheimer's assortment of musings shows a poet on the rise. This impressive collection implores the reader to slow down, take a breath, crane their neck at the vast sky above, and sense the natural world around them. Short stanzas and long form alike come from a vulnerable and open place the author welcomes the reader into, sharing in the experience of pure humanness. Throughout the book I heard Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" playing quietly in the back of my mind...we are stardust. Grace's love of the vast sky and lifelong search for connection leave the reader feeling sonder in wonder–and recognizing that while everyone we meet has a story, some just aren't meant to be part of our constellation.

Wonderful collection. A wide variety of short and medium length meaningful poems. All are thought provoking and beautiful to read.

This is a fabulous collection of poetry, embodying the raw energy of womanhood through a journey to find oneself. It’s emotional and heartfelt, a perfect weekend read. Thank you Grace for sharing your words with the world.

This is bedside table must! Perfect to read before bed, in a nice bath or any time you can get a moment to yourself. Every poem leaves me feeling. Feeling brave, feeling understood, feeling like a woman. A work of art from the words to the artwork. Love!

Just got my copy today! I'm so excited. It's so beautiful. There's so much feeling imbued in the poems. A wonderful poetry collection.

Such a great read!!
