The Brooklyn Sunflower
()
About this ebook
The Brooklyn Sunflower is the debut book of poetry by author Patrick Edward Tarpey. This unpretentious collection is aptly titled after the flowers that line the block of brownstones where he lived in Brooklyn, New York. Tarpey’s poems exalt the beauty in simple things, capture the honesty in simple moments, and seize the joy of simple scenes that are right under our noses. Each page is a pleasant stroll through Tarpey’s life, depicted by little poems that humanize the morning dawn, the night sky, and an assortment of moments in between, set to a lovely melody.
