Jeffrey Thomson Returns to Alice James Books with "The Rediscovered Beauty Room"
Jeffrey Thomson Returns to Alice James Books with The Rediscovered Beauty Room.
Alice James Books will publish The Rediscovered Beauty Room in May 2027
Alice James Executive Director and Publisher, Carey Salerno, praises the collection’s “...tight lyric poems driven by gentle music and cadences,” noting: “They observe the speaker’s surroundings with an eye towards beauty. The focus, however, in this book is not the fleeting nature of this beauty, but one’s own entrenchment in it. One’s recognition of how it shows up in our lives ... These poems feel gentle, as if they are resisting being intrusive and resist lamentation.”
