Camellia in Snow


Book Description

Rose Bruno Bailey, born on the Winter Solstice, blossomed into a poet deeply rooted in nature and the human experience. Camellia in Snow, the first anthology of her work, contains poems that reflect her love of nature, alongside intriguing poems with suggestions of mysticism, or a longing for transcendence. Rose also displays occasional flashes of a darker side to her sunny disposition, letting us explore with her the areas that poets sometimes shun, yet which grant all of us admittance to a shared humanity - scared, regretful, emotionally fragile. Rose uses her life experience to share, as only poets can, the deeply personal in a way that makes it truly universal and accessible to us all, crafted with beautiful, emotive, accessible language, and profound, stunning realism.




Anna's Wish

It had not snowed for many years. When the last leaves diappeared from the trees and the stormy wind of fall turned to a cool whisper, fog lay down on the city like a grey blanket. As time went on people began to wonder whether it would snow again as each winter they looked at the sky more sorrowfully. People's faces turned grey too and they forgot how it had been when snow had still been enchanting the city each winter. One day something stranged happened. It started with a little girl walking in the streets with her mother. Her name was Anna. As Anna looks into the eyes of a little wooden horse in the window of the bakery she wishes for snow to fall. Like tiny stars her wishes floated up to the edge of the sky where they froze to be ice crystals and fell. It was snowing and snowing and would not stop. Only when evening came did the clouds move on. Beautiful artwork brings this Christmas story to life.
