Blue Plums & Weeds Mario René Padilla

Blue Plums & Weeds is the latest collection of poetry by poet Mario Padilla. These poems both mourn the "good things lost among a wilderness of weeds" (Emily Brontë) and celebrate that which survives to blossom, in spite of a weed-corrupted garden. Rare and memorable moments common to most lives savored, the juicy drippings of blue plums plucked that survive pestilence, drought and possums-though they are the most unique, unconventional, and challenging variety of plum to cultivate.
