The Coffee Cup Philosopher: More poems by a housewife who knows

By Erica Ann Abbott

Book Overview

What do a broken teacup, a duck on the run, and an unexpected beehive hairdo have in common?

They each appear - unexpectedly, tenderly, and sometimes hilariously - in this new collection of illustrated poems by Erica Ann Abbott. The Coffee Cup Philosopher invites you into quiet kitchens, neighborhood parks, and the far corners of memory, where everyday objects and moments reveal their hidden stories.

With gentle humor and surprising depth, these poems explore the beauty of aging, the oddness of domestic life, and the courage it takes to keep loving in an unpredictable world. Each poem is paired with a striking black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration, adding charm and insight to the reading experience.

Perfect for fans of Mary Oliver or Billy Collins, The Coffee Cup Philosopher is a companion for early mornings and reflective evenings - a warm, wise friend for anyone who sees the poetry in life's ordinary details.
