Overview

Fireflies are told a story from the moment they are born: that they are actually fallen stars. Join one firefly on his quest to transcend the garden and rejoin the heavenly hosts above. Face down the garden that requires conformity, the spider's carnivorous fangs, and the fear that often comes with freedom. This is an adventure, fable, and personal reflection all rolled into one, and you may find that this quest to venture beyond the garden also invites you on a journey toward healing of your own. Because like it or not, we become the stories we tell ourselves, and within these pages you may find a new path forward, illuminated By a Firefly's Glow.

Reviews

Fireflies have a short life span, but the glow of these poems is eternal. Trent Clifford strings together an incandescent story, brilliantly capturing a journey of healing and becoming. If you've ever wondered where you belong, there's a warm place for you in this bright garden. -Rebecca Wilson, author of Unraveling: Coming Out and Back Together and Not My Grandmother's Hymnal ""By a Firefly's Glow is a luminous journey through darkness, grief, and belonging. Trent doesn't just write poetry-he tends it like sacred soil, where story becomes sustenance and wonder makes a way forward. With the gentle urgency of a firefly in the night, these poems remind us who we are, who we were told to be, and who we still might become. This is not only a book-it's a kindling."" --Reverend Sam Houser, author of No Longer Keeping the Peace and Between the Lines
