<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Butterfly Bruises is a collection of poems and stories regarding animals, the ocean, miscommunication, childhood, Northeastern versus Southern American culture, family, nature versus technology, and the imagination of the introvert. In these lyrical texts, a couple sleepwalks together, a therapist is imagined as a snake, a manatee befriends a widow, a ghost haunts an old Charleston home, and New York City becomes its own character. Stepping into these pages brings about new worlds-some full of magic, others full of mystery. </p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Literary readers seeking writings replete with wake-up calls for change will find <em>The Butterfly Bruises </em>to be reflective, visionary, and hard to put down."</p><p><strong>Diane Donovan </strong>of The Midwest Book Review</p><p> </p><p>"Palmer has her finger on the pulse of emotion; you can feel heartbreak and love in every stanza.
