Seasons

August’s Collection

“Visceral and transcendent.”

—Rosemary Frenza, Author & Ghostwriter

Sketch of a human hand peeking out from underwater with fingers slightly spread apart.

The story of August Johnson continues in this powerful, gripping meditation on mental illness. Swiftly changing and ravaged with original imagery, the poetic companion to powerhouse Flowers for Papa offers a devoted tale of perseverance, the cycles of love and loss, and the sentiments of self-discovery. The seasons have changed and are told in the ways only August can.

The deepest red roses
drip from her lips
and loving her
is as natural
to me
as watering
the flowers
