The Cosmos of the Heart is an artful collection of poems in the voice of a poet who nimbly moves like an acrobat on a tightrope across the two worlds she perceives, the world of the heart with its kindness, compassion, and beauty, and the harsher world of disharmony in all its forms. It is a beautiful and important book.
—Beate Sigriddaughter, author of Dancing in Santa Fe Dr. Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard's poetry pinpoints in an exquisite economy of words individual acts of courage and kindness and perseverance that keepthe infinite expanse of the cosmos from tumbling into a black hole of chaos. The Cosmos of the Heart gives hope for our minuscule place in the universe: each poem pokes a tiny hole shining light into the darkness of despair.
—Svea Gustafson Fraser, Founder of Voice of the Faithful
