Rain Barrel is a collection of poems by Elizabeth Levett Fortier. Reflecting her background in songwriting, Elizabeth’s poetry often describes the intangibles we all experience by grounding the imagery in concrete, tangible realities. Grief is a meditation while making breakfast, longing is witnessed in the light of a neighbor’s back porch, the need for release is embodied in a bumblebee trapped in someone’s kitchen, and history is buried in the soil. Deep emotions are threaded through the warp and weft of ordinary existence. These are relatable poems, poems to be read slowly, again and again, and shared with someone held close.Hashtags: writing, new writing, poetry, human experience, shared experience, life, emotion, reflection, meditation, new poetry, blogger, writer.

PRAISE:
.
“Elizabeth’s poetry takes the reader through a descriptive wonderland of vivid imagery. We are brought to moments and then fully immersed in the, from the slow baptism of a cold plunge to a child’s free spirit held up by the safety of a father’s love and care. This is a work deeply soulful and joyful.”
–Marna Blanchard, UC Berkeley, Bay Area Writing Project.
.
“Rain Barrel is a love song to the beauty that exists in the everyday world. In these poems, the child we once were swims inside us, feral cats teach us about love, and deceased friends keep us company every spring. Truly capacious work.”
–Christopher P. DeLorenzo, MFA, Adjunct professor, University of San Francisco
