POETRY WINNER OF THE 2023 CANADIAN BOOK CLUB AWARDS
A perfect fit for fans of Rupi Kaur, Michaela Angemeer, and Jennae Cecelia, this debut poetry collection tackles topics of growth, grief, and mental health, providing a path forward for those navigating changes and struggles in their lives.
Journey through the seasons in Blooming, a collection of poetry and prose featuring the life-altering transformation of the cycles of growth and grief. Beginning in the heat of summer, finding release through letting go in the fall, experiencing the cold death of winter, and reaching for fresh opportunities and new beginnings in the spring - as each season changes, so do we.
Love and heartbreak, joy and pain, depression and hope; whichever season of life you're in, Blooming is a guide for your next step in life's journey, providing a path through the changes you face. Perhaps it's in those changes where we find the answers we've been looking for all along.
Vulnerable, evocative, and relatable, Blooming will make readers feel seen, moved, and hopeful for the future.
"Chiara Mason's debut poetry collection, Blooming, expertly guides readers through emotional highs and lows. From season to season, her poems take on the tones of change, brokenness, the regaining of strength, and finding confidence in a way that invites readers to evaluate themselves in their own seasons of change. Blooming is a must-read for anyone on a journey of self-love, self-worth, and self-acceptance."
