The Blue Whale Sings From Afar - Paperback

by Josefina Bérard (Author)

"The poems that stick closest to the blue theme, using it to evoke an emotional state, are the book's best and most nuanced. They employ the color as a means of introspection and appreciation, particularly for things natural and whimsical." Kirkus Reviews

"Meditative poems gliding on a gentle breeze ... A poetry collection as soft as a pastel sky, a murmuration of wings passing by ... a place where playful language drops, dangles, and drifts on the wind." Independent Book Review

"The Blue Whale Sings from Afar is an enchanting set of poems by Josefina Bérard which expertly intertwines delicate prose and vivid imagery, beckoning the reader into a serene and tranquil realm adorned with a soothing blue hue." Literary Titan

"Josefina Bérard unearths poetic reflection from cups of tea or coffee, Victorian afternoons, and attempts to grasp the elusive daily act of living a full life when purpose and pleasure pull away." Midwest Book Review, D.Donovan, Senior Reviewer
"The Blue Whale Sings From Afar lyrically captures the magic and mystery found in life's most meditative moments. Rendered with poignant language and with a poet's sense of loss and longing, this collection of heartfelt poems listen to the silence of leaves falling from tree branches, watch with awe as white Montgolfiers sail in the sky, and wait with a sense of expectation and hope for the return of a fresh Spring. "Life is parting / With a paused breath," Bérard writes. These poems tell that tale." Colleen Alles, author of After the 8-Ball
