Everyday Mermaid, a collaborative fine art poetry book by Christina Isobel and Deidre Scherer. Dive deeply into ordinary moments with Scherer's sewn textile art cradling Isobel's lyric narrative poetry. Begin on a standing wave and follow hints of the mermaid flowing into winter, spring, summer, fall, and back to winter. Experience the light and colors of the seasons as they shape insights, feelings, and epiphanies. Bathtub poems, washing-dishes poems, driving poems, walking poems, planting poems, looking-out window poems. Poems of marriage, giving birth, looking at grey hair. Poems of the ordinary. Moment to moment, day by day, season by season, living into growing older. I had to stay open each day be ready when the hum came-- ready to write. At the end of the year I looked into my hands and saw a poetic journal, a journal with gold at the end: I had found my life.
