English Country Room by Michael Pick
This book is a collection of poems Rachel Bernard has written in the last 25 years. The poems depict the highs, lows and conflicting temperaments of those years. The many individuals she has met and interacted with through the years inspired these pieces. I want to acknowledge the random, hapless, senseless condition of a heart in love.a state equally tumultuous and chaotic as it is serene and secure in the notion that there is a heart loving it back. In love, the highs and peaks are rivaled by the pits and valleys. There is equal magnificence in the brilliance of love and the darkness of despair.
