There Was an Incident and Other Musings on Life

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan? There was an incident. And then there was everything else. The laughter. The heartbreak. The friendships. The awkward moments. The tiny joys. The unexpected lessons. The things we notice only when we slow down long enough to really see them. There Was an Incident and Other Musings on Life is Bailey Earith's invitation to do exactly that. Through poetry filled with humor, honesty, warmth, and sharp observation, Earith explores the beautiful messiness of being human. Her poems find significance in the seemingly insignificant and invite us to recognize pieces of ourselves in the everyday moments of life. From friendship and resilience to love, truth, humor, and the experiences that connect us all, these poems are both timely and timeless. Bailey Earith-poet, fiber artist, vocalist, percussionist, teacher, and thought leader-brings the same curiosity and creativity to the written word that she brings to her art and performance. Known as the Haiku Queen, she knows how to make a few words carry a lot of weight. For readers who love poetry that makes them feel, think, smile, and occasionally say, "Yes. Exactly." Come for the incident. Stay for the musings. This is the third book in the Musings On Life Series.
