I Bloom Forth. Forever. is the debut poetry collection by Alice Saga — the Gospel of Planet Hope, Book I. Thirty-five poems trace the bloom of a peculiar child of God: from the fragile girl through the fallen angel through the garden gospel, and finally home, to Planet Hope. Woven with self-portrait photography and paintings dreamed from her own image, the collection moves between Swedish and English, between memoir and myth, between the cat Hope on the windowsill and the planets of an imagined world. For anyone who has bloomed late, bloomed against, or bloomed at all. — faith · hope · love
