Publisher's Description
These short poems are easy to read and invite contemplation with their often-unique perspective of God as the personal Creator and Savior. Although there is both joy and pain contained and expressed in these poems, there are touches of humor that may make readers smile. The “Ending” poems lead to a truly glorious “End.”

“Ms. Busching’s collection is a luminous affirmation of belief with larger than any denomination confronting the hard facts of the human condition. Each poem is like a butterfly . . . present exquisitely and delicately against all natural odds . . . testifying to something more, something beyond articulation, sustaining hope against despair.”
“I found these poems deeply moving, many with a hymn-like quality. They are at once deeply personal and speak to our shared fears and hopes. But most of all, they speak to the Great Love that is there, if we only open ourselves to it.”
“What happens when an award-winning mezzo-soprano turns her talents to poetry? You are drawn into words, images, and inspirations that take the reader soaring through flights of song. Marianna Busching offers us ‘luminous notes’ on the ‘life’s wonder.’ We just hope that it will be a while before she ‘kneels and sings / that last, most glorious / Agnus Dei.’”
“These poems are a gift.”
“In From Earth’s Floor, Marianna, a faith-filled singing poetess, traces the sacred pulse that hums within the ordinary. Each poem is a prayer—chanted with gratitude, wonder, and the courage to look God in the face. From Earth’s Floor is not merely a collection—it is a pilgrimage of the soul, where faith wrestles, weeps, and ultimately, sings.”
