Description:
Even in a state of geometrical grace we cannot see time as it is, only as it passes. So the river shows us while softly disfiguring our waterlogged bodies on the way to vast projects of war.—Rosmarie Waldrop Driven to Abstraction is Rosmarie Waldrop's sixth collection of poetry with New Directions. The first of its two sections, "Sway-Backed Powerlines," consists of five sequences of prose poems whose subject matter ranges from voyages of discovery and the second Iraq war to geometry, memory, and the music of John Cage. Part two, the title sequence, investigates the tendency to abstraction in our lives which, in the West, began with the Renaissance introduction of zero into arithmetic, the vanishing point into perspective, and imaginary money in economics. Driven by the tension between abstraction and the concrete, and written in the shadow of ongoing wars, these poems are among Waldrop's most engaging and thrilling works to date, the writing of a master poet at the height of her creative powers.

cozy and detailed fantasy romance
Format: Kindle
Very much the cozy fantasy, the story follows the tale of Lucia and Lina, as circumstance gives them the incentive to grasp something that they both want. It is very much slice of life, focusing on Lucia's day to day running of the inn (often with a lot of details), of those who come and go, and her thoughts and feelings towards Lina and the events that unfold. There is no angst and only a little action, all up an enjoyable sweet story that takes its time in unfurling itself to the reader.

Warm, Sweet, Funny
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book! It was a relaxing read with warm characters and an interesting world. This was just cozy goodness to unwind with. There was just enough tension from the threat of the Red Parish, but it was never too much. I hope we'll get another with these characters and this world!
