A Scrap in the Blessings Jar, a remarkable collection of new and selected poems by David Bottoms, unveils the profound journey of the poet's spiritual quest spanning fifty years. Hailing from Georgia, Bottoms finds inspiration in the rich tapestry of the American South, weaving themes related to family dynamics, the enchanting woods, the captivating world of animals, the art of fishing, and the soulful melodies of music into his poetic tapestry. With a sincere desire to unveil the hidden treasures of the world, the enigmatic or shadowy relationships and connections that exist just beneath the surface of our daily lives, Bottoms' work serves as a testament to his artistic exploration. This literary masterpiece charts his evolution from tightly crafted naturalistic narratives to works that reflect his evolving understanding of the interplay between memory, the present, and the metaphysical realm. At its core, Bottoms remains a storyteller of exceptional talent, employing figurative language to uncover the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane. His poetry delves deep into the depths of our existential condition and collective humanity, offering a profound reflection on the human experience.
