The Rose That Blooms in the Night is a collection of poems from spoken word poet, yoga instructor, podcaster, and Instagram influencer Allie Michelle. The collection is meant to be a mirror reflecting the love inside of those who explore it. It tells the tale of transformational cycles we experience throughout our lives. Falling in and out of love. Feeling lost and rediscovering our purpose. Learning to create a home within our own skin instead of seeking it in other people and places.

"Den hvide rose" er en digtsamling om at være tæt på et menneske med alvorlig sygdom, om at blive på kærlighedens sted, selvom kærligheden er gået i stykker. Og om at skrive poesi i en verden, hvor kærlighedens sprog synes slidt op. Olga Ravn, f. 1986, er uddannet fra Forfatterskolen og debuterede med digtsamlingen Jeg æder mig selv som lyng (2012). Siden fulgte chapbogen "Mean girl" (2014) og romanen "Celestine" (2015). Hun er blevet tildelt Michael Strunge-prisen og Statens Kunstfonds tre-årige arbejdslegat.
