Phoenixes Groomed as Genesis Doves, is a collection of poetry that draws the reader into the world of personal identity, inner growth, and the complexity of human relationships. Farrell uses ordinary and common images, especially ones found in nature, to craft poems that appeal to the uncommon, the suppressed, and the others. Filled with incredible grace and accessible wisdom, the poems explore a wide range of complex emotional themes. With unexpected metaphors and sparkling similes, the pieces vary in rhythm and theme, making each one like a foil-wrapped candy: something to savor, enjoying each new bright color on the tongue.
