A new and unique book of poetry
,
Frustration Flowers
is a journey through phases of life that are integral to the process of becoming a complete person. The reader is lead through an ongoing metaphor comparing the human heart with that of a special breed of flower that sprouts, grows, and blooms only when nourished by frustrations. Structured around a single series of nine poems that describe this cycle, the 174 poems in the book fit rather well into categories entitled Flower Chant,Insanity Flower,and Dying Flower to name a few. A new author, Amber M. Thille has no trouble proving her prowess in both prose and poetry in this debut publication. While the poetry speaks for itself, her ability to weave a web of words is also illustrated in the section introductions where the significance of each section to her is explained. As if the stellar writing were not enough,
contains a few illustrations drawn by the author's own hand. Both
and Ms. Thille are sure to have a promising future.
