Since the introduction of the written word, poetry has been used to uniquely convey impressions of the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. It is only natural then that this form of writing should find its way into the elegance, subtlety, and graciousness of taking tea. Musings With a Cuppa - The Poetry of Tea is a collection of original poetry dedicated to those who not only understand the complexity of creating a fine cuppa, but who also appreciate the simplicity of its enjoyment. Although a product of the 20th Century, each poem embodies the flavour and spirit of Edwardian England. From the very beginning of the first verse the reader is taken back to the early 1900s when gracious society was built on civility and decorum. Musings With a Cuppa - The Poetry of Tea is as essential at teatime as good company and fine conversation. Although poetry, more than any other form of writing, insists on being read aloud and enjoyed in the presence of others. The Poetry of Tea will quietly embellish even the solitary cup of tea. So sit down with a cup in hand and, if only for a moment, enter the world of Earlene Grey.. Signed by Author. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
