Breath on the Water

Classicist poet and author Edith E. Hartnett's second collection of her evocative poems further develop her love of nature and her profound spiritual views. The book begins with "The Troubadour," a moving tale based on the story of the French troubadour Jausbert de Puycibot who lost his beloved wife only to find her again in a bittersweet reunion. The well-wrought fantasy novella "King of the Hidden Isles" closes the collection with all the acoutrements of the classical fairy tale: a foundling baby, a vision quest, an evil sorcerer defeated while true love prevails. This novella will delight readers and listeners all the way down to twelve years old. Hartnett's previously published romance/historical novel on Mary Magdalen, "The Color of Wine," is available on www.amazon.com
