Midsummer Dream House

ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

Emma Grey Rose

Poetry, Chapbook

A collection of poems and writings on relationships that capture snapshots and fragments of dreamlike memories. Written over the course of four and a half years, All The Beautiful Things is a haze of emotion, moment, and memory. These elements work together to come under a bright and central focus, relationships. A combination of free verse and avant-garde poems turn pieces of life into loosely painted images.

 

“These poems attempt to put into words certain experiences that are somehow beyond words—well, at least beyond a normal prose narrative. Through poetry, language can become brush strokes of new colors from the palette of dreams, the sounds of wind and sense of weather, the sensation of bodies touching, or maybe bittersweet longing. Some of us, when faced with the ineffable, go silent. But a few of the lucky ones, like Emma Grey Rose, are able to sing. So, let us listen.”

—George du Bois, Screenwriter of Songs of the Minotaur
