The Unpredictability of Light, Poems by Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard
Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard’s unpredictable journey begins in pre-Castro Cuba, wends its way into Provence and ends in a cathedral. Equally at home in yesterday, today, and tomorrow, the warm characters in the poems of The Unpredictability of Light illuminate their worlds in textured reds, yellows, and blues.

“Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard’s nourishing poems and spirit are woven carefully and with insight into all aspects of the human journey. This generous poet, champion of our connectedness, helps make our ‘our present time more bearable’ and lifts us up. This is a wonderful book.”—Naomi Shihab Nye
"Full-hearted and rich in spiritual insight, Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard's poems combine the everyday world with the ineffable. She writes of loss and its aftermath in ways that surprise and heal, gently and insistently urging us to accept the challenge of being 'what you were meant to be.' I am grateful for the work she has produced in this new collection."—Floyd Skloot
