The Los Angeles Gardening Guide by Thea Rosemary

California poet Thea Rosemary cultivates a dreamlike collection of lyrical verse in The Los Angeles Gardening Guide, a title that reflects the artful inventiveness inside. Reminiscent of recent work by Lana Del Rey or Marisela Norte, this is an accomplished pouring of emotion in words exploring the journey of a woman’s transformation at the end of a relationship, finding her feet through an understanding of loss and anger, and then transcending these losses through the beauty in the cycles of nature around her. With subtle eloquence and a keen use of symbolism, this poetry collection is a probing and poignant examination of life after heartbreak.
