Thrive gathers poems of youth and loss and growth and love, asking us to find beauty in the unfurling. Joy, dance, seedlings, romance, the vast powerful scope of the sea, the fresh eyes of children, and believing in the possibility of glorious, fragile, improbable things, the moment of a flower blooming.
