Illicit Croissants At Dawn - Poems
“Francesca’s poetry is divine. It’s fresh, and has the feel of simply having bubbled out of her and onto the paper. She is a true gift!”
— Ingrid Haring-Mendes, Writer
“Francesca Bossert’s new book of poems, her sophomore endeavor after the poignant and hilarious novel, “Just Like A Movie”, showcases her compassionate wit and wisdom in a new format. Her poems are both vitamins and vaccines, uplifts and preventative medicine that let us laugh at our pain and sharpen our own insights through her humorous lens. Beautifully illustrated by her artist daughter, Olivia Bossert, this mother-daughter collaboration is a celebration of life’s truths and troubles, captured in deep poetic gazes that will startle, amuse and move you.”

“Immerse yourself in Francesca Bossert’s delightful poetry! Smiles come easily as the cocktails swirl, but readers will also relish close conversations, some winking, some wistful. Bossert brings cleverness and soul to her poems—they’re funny without being slight. Giggle as Bossert relives some of her bohemian escapades in search of Casanova, then reflect as the poet revels in beauty that surrounds us, and what it means to live a life of love.”
