It’s the “small” things that catches Ellen Rosenbloom’s eye and ear in her book “Traveling”—which is truly the glue that keeps everything running. Like a watchmaker, picking out and examining the wheels, pulleys and gears, then putting everything back, and putting the watch to your ear—that ticking, so everyday yet beautiful.
–Cornelius Eady, Prof of English, Hodges Chair, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville
With innocence and cunning Ellen Rosenbloom treads through fables, fairytales and a recipe for love. This is poetry that runs away from home and sets up shop in the most mysterious places, including the most ordinary of households.
–Frank Galuszka, the author of Cafe Vernacular, the Art of Tom Bottoms.
The adventure of falling in love—the adventure of visiting new places. The loss of a father, the beauty of a mother, a sister, a brother and the magic of a husband. All comes together in this sometimes serious, sometimes whacky assembly of poems.
