博客來Changing of the Tides & Other Poems is the debut poetry collection by poet Emma Conlon. In three sections, ＂high tide＂, ＂low tide＂, and ＂changing tides＂, the poet guides the reader through the tidal waves of first love, the hurricanes of heartbreak, and the painful process of picking up the pieces and putting yourself back together. This fully illustrated, revised, and expanded 2nd edition immerses readers in moving poetry and gorgeous visuals, inviting readers to voyage into the most vulnerable parts of themselves.
A heart-wrenchingly beautiful exploration of the highs and lows of adolescence and young adulthood, Changing of the Tides traverses the seas of love and loss, grief and hope, growing up and letting go. Through poignant nostalgia and lush oceanic imagery, Changing of the Tides will take you on a healing journey across oceans and across time itself.
Praise for Emma Conlon
＂With every piece, I could taste more and more of the salt in the air, sea foam curling around my ankles... [Conlon’s poetry] is rich with oceanic imagery... reading ＂Sea Songs＂ was like the ocean coming home to me.＂ - Kait Quinn, Author of A Time for Winter
＂Changing of the Tides is one of those poetry collections that is easily relatable. [Conlon] boldly touches on love and loss, capturing the vulnerable side of heartbreak and creating moving pieces...it was just perfect.＂ - Alexandra Vincent, Author of Monarch
＂In Changing of the Tides, Conlon takes on a universal muse, the ocean [in] a delicate delivery of vivid imagery. You can feel the words moving. It is warm and inviting. It is a chair being pulled out for you at the table, it is Conlon telling you stories and showing you dusted photos in albums, all through poetry... I was awestruck by Conlon’s portrayal of vulnerability. I felt seen.＂ - Courtney Phillips, Author of DARLING
