Up, Up, & Away... in Bloomington, MN

Mary Louise LoPresti brings together a collection of poems that take the reader on an emotional ride that reminds of the bad times but also celebrates the good. A pure reminder of life, love, and the spiritual connection that matters the most, the innocence found in these poems teaches us to stop dwelling in the potent darkness of the world and to learn that life offers more than just a second chance.
Mary Louise LoPresti's poetry is direct and sometimes piercing. Seemingly simple, it is the choice of the words in her verses that helps you relate more to the world around you. Find tears and happiness in the poems that are of many different themes and tones but as a whole are one, much like the lives that the collection aims to address.
