Blue Morning River: A Poetry Collection

By Thea Schiller

THE BLUE MORNING RIVER poetry collection includes poems of love, nature ,social identity, loss and spirituality creating poetic vignettes through the geography of personal experience and personal philosophy. Poems happen at the hang bar waiting for decompression, shoaling rapids to see the melting of the iced Phoenix, hearing the Overture at the Piano, or hanging out in the Kitchen Café. Poems dance a traditional waltz, a Cajun two-step and a Native American Feather Dance. Even a “Heartbeat” that has been a moan achieves “Precious Flight.”
