A Tattered Map’s Tale

About the Book

This collection of poems and prose illustrates a mosaic of crisscrossed time zones, personalities interrupted, and moments reflected. In between the doorways of bedrooms, the billowing gusts of brewing storms, and the endless queues of boarding lines, the author takes the reader on a journey of experiences that make up the human condition. Passion, regret, remorse, intrigue and innocence all poke through the surface of these verses. Whether each as a standalone, or combined as a mural, the poems in A Tattered Map’s Tale string together like prayer flags at the base of a mountain, begging one to pause and consider love, latitudes and language differently than before.

About the Author

A little about me I have been writing a long time. And up to now, I have shared this part of my life with only those who I felt could safely hold my secret. But 12 months ago, I was seated across the table from a dear friend and fellow writer who wondered … “maybe your writing is not just for you, maybe it’s for those whose voice awaits words?” For the first time, I actually believed that perhaps all these whispers, mumbles, screams, purrs, sobs, giggles and sighs might have a place outside of my blinking screen and dusty mailbox. So, here you have me and a hundred or so moments that might be you, too. If one of them find their way in, let me know. It’s good to feel the power of two. It’s good to feel you’re not alone. It’s good to feel the light. On Facebook, Linkedin, Skype On Gmail: bruursemajennifer0@gmail.com
