Overview

All our perspectives come from light and shadows. What lies in the darkness, hidden from our understanding? What might a sudden light reveal? The answers to such questions are as changeable as the seasons, but giving them voice has always been the purview of poets . . . their offered insights directly impacting how we perceive the world around us and our own place within its vastness. Ashes of Innocence: A Poetic Journey Through Shadow & Light is a poetry collection that speaks to all of that and more, examining all of life's vagaries-its loves and losses, blessings and curses-through the pebbled glass of the author's own lived experience, and with insight, vulnerability, and humour. With its mature and relatable prose, clever rhymes, and deeply impactful imagery, this is a collection that will speak meaningfully to its readers, encourage them to delve deep into life's shadows, and to emerge, changed and reinvigorated, into the light.
