What Blooms in the Dark

by Emily J Mundy

Tracing the poet’s journey of release, return, and rebirth, this debut collection dives into the dark necessarily, as a precursive measure for arching back up toward the light. Poems that recount generational violence and addiction converse with others that conjure healing and illumination in the cycles of nature. What Blooms in the Dark, ultimately, is a work of spiritual transformation and the power of love.
