Overview

Rustling and overgrown fields, a persimmon in hand, hazy cross-country train rides, wildflowers of every color. What flowers may come projects dreamy meaning onto the surrounding landscape, sacredly observing the unspoken, biggest meanings behind a life's smallest moments. Through equal parts playfulness and pondering, wistfulness and whimsy, author Sarah Durrand witnesses magic - and through her simple, vivid, and impactful poems, she invites you to witness magic around you, too. Durrand is a born-and-raised Californian who began writing poetry while attending college in a small, agricultural town in Northern California. She continued to amass her delicate verses as life continued through a pandemic, a life-changing diagnosis, and a near-death experience, turning to the natural world as a lens for her pondering, anxieties, and joys as a young, disabled, Queer person. In her debut poetry collection, nature is an ever-present inspiration - flocking birds teach us about forgiveness, backyard lemons teach us about grief, and love and loss are folded into the petals of every flower. www.sarahdurrand.com
