Blue Maze Rosemary Ybarra-garcia

In Blue Maze, the poet uniquely reveals, through palpable experiences and fresh imagery, critical symbiotic relationships in nature. The journey weaves in and out of connections as in the poem "Blue Marble" where the poet, as a child, swallows a blue marble while riding on a fast-moving wagon, accepts that the earth is ever changing and symbolically on a speeding wagon itself. In the poem "Rain," she personifies rain and underscores the connections between minute worlds, mostly unseen by humans. Poems in this collection, reflecting the poet's love of nature, are introspective and memorable.
