I am the daffodil that didn’t ask permission.
I am the bluebell that came back when everyone
had agreed it was too late for bluebells.

About the Book
I Bloom Forth. Forever. is the debut poetry collection by Alice Saga — the Gospel of Planet Hope, Book I. Thirty‑five poems trace the bloom of a peculiar child of God: from the fragile girl through the fallen angel through the garden gospel, and finally home, to Planet Hope.
Woven with self‑portrait photography and paintings dreamed from her own image, the collection moves between Swedish and English, between memoir and myth, between the cat Hope on the windowsill and the planets of an imagined world.

✦ A Reading from the Book
The Daffodil, February-Born
They said: nothing blooms in February.
I said: watch.
I am the daffodil, February-born —
born in the wrong month,
the frost-bitten month,
the month that knows it isn’t spring yet
but grows anyway.
I do not wait for permission.
I do not wait for the right conditions.
I do not wait.
The gardeners said: too early.
The people who kept the gate said:
not yet, not you, not here.
The daffodil said nothing.
The daffodil just opened.
This is the whole theology.
This is the entire gospel.
You do not need their gate to open.
You were always free to grow.
I bloom forth. Forever.
