Down the Roots of an Apple Tree

By Erika Brecher

Sometimes the only way to make sense of life is to
translate it into a language one understands. This
book is a gallery of abstract poetry that capture
moments of life experiences and philosophies, written
from an individual point of view. King Solomon said
that there is nothing new under this sunPerhaps
what he meant was that experiences, thoughts and
emotions are not alien. They belong to many people and
identify with many people. These poems are written
with the hope that the readers too will experience as
the author has experienced; to stir the subtleties of
emotional intellect.
