Laura Foley's poetry collection It's This is a
luminous exploration of the intricate tapestry of life, love, loss, and the
profound transformation within relationships and ourselves.
Through spare yet melodic language, Foley delves into the depths of human
experience, finding solace and joy amidst the complexities of existence. At the
heart of this collection is a contemplation of presence and acceptance as the
speaker captures the ebb and flow of life's seasons and landscapes. Foley's
keen eye examines fleeting moments with grace, whether it's the skeleton of a
deer on the roadside or the delicate dance of bees in a hive. Each poem serves
as a poignant reminder of the impermanence of life and the importance of
embracing each precious moment.
One of the collection's strengths lies in Foley's ability to
weave together seemingly disparate elements—nature, human love, and spiritual
connections—into a seamless canvas of poetic expression. Through gentle
observation and introspection, she invites readers to reflect on their experiences and find beauty in the ordinary. Throughout It's This, Foley
asks profound questions about identity and faith, often through the lens of
personal relationships. Whether it's the speaker's evolving relationship with
her wife or her journey from atheism to religious belief. What sets
Foley's poetry apart is her remarkable ability to find light amidst the
darkness, to uncover moments of transcendence in the mundane. Each poem is
imbued with a sense of wonder and reverence for the world around us, reminding
readers to cherish the present moment and all its inherent beauty. It is filled
with symbolism, strong imagery, and captivating rhythms that reflect the
seasons of the poet’s soul. These poems have the energy to open readers' hearts and pull them deeper into themselves.
