Bowlfuls of Blue
Alexandra’s debut book of poetry is available now from Assure Press.
Alexandra’s work considers family, spirituality, art, and nature. Grappling with the fragility of human bodies, the violence that our species inflicts upon itself and the natural world, and the curious and persistent beauty all around us, her poetry asks the question (at once naïve and wonderful): “Instead of convincing ourselves/ that none of this matters,/ why not surrender to the soft wind,/ the strong tide, the warm sun,/ the great wonder of being?”

These poems appeared in The Raw Art Review, Fall 2018.
