Night Bloomer - Jane Zenger

A collection of poems by a single author. nn n nn Night Bloomer by Jane Zenger is the third book in the Laureate Series, an endeavor by Muddy Ford Press to celebrate the tradition of poetry that is born to South Carolinians, and to promote and honor the relationship between nn Mentor and Protégé, nn Advocate and Postulant, nn Poet and Poet. nn n nn nHere's the setting of the book: the poet tells us that she decided to write a poem or story-a-day for a year. It so happens that it is the Covid Year of 2021. Her personal quarantine is compounded by the grievous situation that her husband, Steve, is bedridden at home, unable to walk or talk, in the final stages of dementia. This thread is woven throughout the book-with intimacy, with frustration, with despair, with tenderness, with loyalty, with joy.n
