Romp and Ceremony, a full-length poetry collection, by Jeannie E. Roberts, combines humor, sound play, light and shadow, and close observation of our natural world. Divided into six sections, Seasonal Disorders, Brighter Days Ahead, Signs of Life, Food and Other Phenomena, All Life Shines, and Romp It Up!, Roberts takes the reader on a vibrant, compassionate, and entertaining seasonal journey, drawing on both human and non-human stories as her framework. Poet and author Bill Yarrow summarizes this collection of fifty-one poems in perfect pitch, "A book for all those who admire the sobriety of ceremony and appreciate the intoxication of romp."
