THE FIRST THREE of these
second six books are.🎋
The Leaving
Eventide
Field Notes
IN MY FIRST six books; i have shared with you a wonderful new short eclectic selection of modern topics.-Often; political topics. But here; i will partly turn back; i think; to a lovely newer form; of some of my treasured old biographical works; that will include my Leni books.-For that dear smart girl; Leni van Meer; who had such a lovely interesting; if not also; difficult life to share!
And again; these books will feature a beautiful simple original cover foto and design.-And some very clean poignant writing inside! I never get tired of writing these stories! I will call them novellas; i think. For their more gentle simple immediate scope. Or; small collections of short stories.-If their subjects or time frames are more loosely linked. I hope you enjoy; and ever stay tuned for more!🎋marguerite bloem
BOOK SEVEN; The Leaving.
Paperback; 6x9; 83 pages.
This is a lovely gentle dear small novella;
of twelve thoughtful chapters; and 83 pages.
AND A LOVELY echo of my prior book; Fledgling Season.-You will notice the similar aspect of the head and body position; between that dear fledgling crow; and my dear girl; Leni van Meer. Who had; likewise; not yet sufficient wings to fly! This book perhaps for girls; mothers; teachers; sisters; grown women who knew Leni's road. Or; for brothers or fathers and others who cared.
Or for other immigrants; whose families had similar constraints.-In divining paths and roads for their immigrant children; in a strange foreign world. (As her family did; as her family did.) Or just for dear Leni-girl!-Hey girl! I wrote you a book; for eff sakes. I wrote you a beautiful book! And i will cover you for the next one too.-The Labyrinth. And don't worry; we will get you through!
Or rather; you did; you will. Brave rocking-assed brave girl.-Is that an expression? A language I rarely use; though yet; it seems to be required. Peace then; and love and democracy. Which we had then; we had then! (Can you imagine that?-I know.) Onward then; and we will fix this deeply deeply troubled show.🎋marguerite bloem
In this gentle wise quirky Dutch-immigrant inflected novella; a young innocent high school girl in the early seventies; and a top scholar in her big bustling high school; is eased; to put it in a mild way; and for better or worse; out of her family home way too soon.-She has only just turned seventeen; and she is a truly sheltered innocent girl. Well; in a certain sense she is. Though not in the trouble she has seen in that home.-To be followed by The Labyrinth. Which is a brave searching difficult book; in which we will help that girl through.-Aw; Leni. Let's go then; beautiful girl!🎋marguerite
BOOK EIGHT; Eventide.
Paperback; 6x9; 83 pages.
This is another dear gentle small novella;
of ten thoughtful chapters; and 83 pages.
I JUST COULDN'T watch a world
at war anymore.
I just couldn't sleep; watching a world at war! I could find no peace that way! Watching a world at war. Thinking; if the whole world is watching; shouldn't we be able to stop this war? And so; me and my dear Leni-girl; finally sat down to write this dear small gentle tome for you; of what we thought of war.
As we did know a thing or two about that! And thank you then; beautiful girl! For thinking so deeply about that for so long; and then; for remembering too!-The long-ago world your family knew. If you have seen war; or if your family has seen war; then you cannot really not see war. You cannot really say you didn't see that war. You cannot really not say anything. But i am thinking of this as a book about peace.-Especially for Christmastime.
Because the world needs that. So please buy it for yourself; and for your friends. (The other half of the cover is lovely too.) All of my cover art is simple; honest; personal; subtle or symbolic; enigmatic and meaningful and beautiful.-By me; well. Me and Miss Leni would be so pleased! And she is; we are; deeply thoughtful and wise. At every age; people can be! You can tell by the peace; and curiosity and joy; that lie deep in someone's eyes. You can look at the eyes of a baby. You can see how they laugh; and how their eyes seem to reflect; the huge wide possibility of the skies. Of the humans; and of the skies.🎋marguerite
BOOK NINE; Field Notes.
Paperback; 6x9; 53 pages.
Here is another dear small collection; of obliquely linked short stories. That is; 6 small stories; and 53 gentle pages. That consider language; culture; connection; humanity.-In a world; and in a sudden political climate; that has sadly put a jinx on all of that. But oh, dear!-Thinks our dear Miss Margaux.
And don't worry; she will tell you why. Because she loves to grouse about things like that! About gentle deeply human things.-But we shouldn't lose that; should we? Because immigrants are not bogeymen! They are; in fact; really cool people!-Innit? And foreign language is a sort of delicious art form!-Ja; i know. And how boring we would be! Shall i put it in that tense then?🎋marguerite
