Coloring Outside the Edges by SR Inciardi Book PDF Summary
Poetry at times can be daunting. Some who read it can find it difficult to follow and interpret and at other times so radical they are made uncomfortable. Others say that poetry is dark, only ‘serious”. After all, if that were the case, why would anyone want to read poetry? While poetry is usually short in length, it can contain insight and thoughtfulness within a compact space. Poetry can help to ease the pain of difficult situations, inspire hope, reassure, encourage, enable connection, and lift spirits all while being read within the context of compact bursts of creativity. Poetry is simply another way to experience language and restore confidence when hope and confidence have been assaulted. Inspirational poetry can therefore touch us when we might need it most. Imagine starting your mornings or ending your day with some poetry instead of scrolling through Facebook or Instagram or watching the latest news broadcast dwelling in violence and political discord. In his debut collection, SR Inciardi offers his new book of poetry, Coloring Outside the Edges, to help fill you with hope and inspiration or just take you away from the drone of the everyday. With soothing imagery, words of wisdom, even humor, you will find his debut collection of value in these unsettling times. Some poems within this collection offer the use of nature to settle a troubled spirit. Here are some passages: A Walk into a Field of Wildflowers I take it alone, under the blanket of a late-summer sun, drawn toward the middle so that I might be surrounded, as though wading waist-deep into a calmer, swaying sea. A 360-degree sense of well-being is what I long for. I tell myself I can always go back to the edge and begin again. I tell myself the wildflowers are there to take in ways I alone decide. A blend of varied color and aroma, transporting me from the every-day-pressures that thrust me to wander there. My Daily Walk I set out daily in a different direction, never aware of the clock or even the arriving weather, sure that when the journey begins, I’ll see its young, taut-skinned-face as if it’s the first time Poetry helps offer the reader a view of what matters and puts the world and its complexities into the right perspective. Put your stresses on hold, tuck a copy of Coloring Outside the Edges in your overnight bag, and find a quiet place to settle in to digest its soothing words. This is a collection of poetry that will help settle the static in your life.
