Then Yeses Come Bubbling - Paperback

by Ryan Van Lenning (Author)

Then Yeses Come Bubbling explores the power and pleasure of creativity and imagination, embracing an uncompromising "Yes". This "Yes" acts like an ecological process and pact, where the creative spirit urges a commitment and all that is misaligned falls away. The poems are wide-ranging, from a spider's web as symbol of poetic weaving to the ocean's relentless waves as metaphor for ongoing creative birth. From odes to Rilke, Oliver, mosquitoes, and makers who confront death, to the playful agency of art resisting control, poetry proves to be a living, breathing entity that reveals and conceals simultaneously.
