“Book Descriptions: This collection follows the themes of DeFrisco’s debut collection, A Heart With No Scars (Nomadic Press, 2015) — seeking hope and discovering joy in a world that doesn’t always make space for taking time to tend to our own personal “heart gardens.” Honeysuckle & Nightshade is a collection of poems that centers joy, healing, and hope while navigating the sweet & dangerous blooms that grow in the garden of Love.
Honeysuckle & Nightshade includes spoken word favorite, “Amazing,” which was featured by Poet Laureate Kim Shuck for San Francisco Public Library’s Poem-A-Day series, and “A List of Unreliable Narrators,” published by Drunk In A Midnight Choir.” DRIVE
