    Bobbie Lee Lovell’s first poetry chapbook is about relationships, decision-making and resilience. Pivotal moments are infused with ekphrastic (visual art) and speculative (science fiction/fantasy) elements.

    Throughout the book, the theme of “the edge” recurs. Several poems describe the precarious beauty found at great heights. Others present “the edge” as a metaphorical line between despair and hope, union and separation.

    This book is especially for art lovers, hikers, dreamers and anyone who seeks healing and growth.
