Step into a world where winter magic meets raw emotion, where traditional holiday cheer dances alongside quiet moments of reflection. This collection of poems weaves together the sparkle of the season with its shadows, from a rogue robot Santa causing chaos at the North Pole to the bittersweet ache of spending holidays without loved ones. You'll encounter dancing ballerinas trapped in music boxes, mischievous reindeer with glowing antlers, forgotten fruitcakes plotting revenge, and snowflakes that tell stories of individuality. But beyond the whimsy lies something deeper, honest explorations of loneliness, hope, healing, and the complexity of holiday emotions. Perfect for readers who appreciate contemporary poetry that goes beyond traditional holiday themes, this collection offers both magical storytelling and introspective moments. It's winter through a snow globe that shows not just the sparkle, but the shadows too, for those who want their seasonal reading with depth, heart, and a touch of enchantment.
