#bookrecommendation "Day Breaks at the Bottom of a Blue Sea by David Oliver Cranmer" (at Amazon) @haikubycrane.bsky.social I enjoy David's poems here so bought his new book. The moving titular poem has a crane fly stuck in candle wax. There are Human emotions. Connections with Nature. Good book!

Book cover for David Oliver Cranmer's Day Breaks on the Bottom of a Blue Sea. Blue & white waves. White text.
