Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offering: A person should not bury a talent-no matter how small. -- Theresa Rough, Paperback

Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offering contains the literary genres of free verse poetry, haiku, anthropomorphic ballads, and wisdom sayings. The collection is replete with recurring images (e.g., the poet as moth, shadows, the Potter's wheel of God, death, the tree, the Lord's nonverbal messages through nature, and His verbal messages through the Scriptures).

Many of the works are presented in a moving or twirling motion. The sheer bandage image itself (around and around) wraps its way throughout the entire book, giving an ethereal sense of orbits and life's seasons.

And as the bandage unwraps, out flow the fragile offerings--the poems and wisdom.

Every work was wrought through the thorn of brokenness, yet the poems are not dark. Rather, they flash illumination as if a fresh candle were just lit.

Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offering is minimalist, free of anything esoteric.
