Beautifully Mundane

In a time when we are sold the idea that life should be a series of blissed-out Instagram-worthy moments, Beautifully Mundane is the opposite. In brief poetic bursts, Alison E. Berman captures moments of subtle beauty that she experienced while living and traveling throughout South America over the course of a year. The poems of Beautifully Mundane are celebrations of what arises when we slow down to the minutia of the surrounding world. Each poem helps the reader dial into a snapshot of present life, and open space for its simple beauty to shine through.
