as the Sparrow flies: Poems

By Grace E Kelley

Book Overview

What if the distance between what you have loved and lost is not so far after all?

What if, as the Sparrow flies, there's a way through loneliness, grief, betrayal, and the aches of sacrificial love, that feels lighter-more freeing?

Such is the journey the reader takes in as the Sparrow flies. "A companion for the aches of love," as the Sparrow flies takes the reader on a deeply personal, yet universal journey. Through the aches of long distance relationships and starting over in new places; to the agony of grief in the loss of loved one; to the anguish of betrayals, friendship breakups and religious trauma; and finally-through the beautiful and sharp ache that is loving one's children-discover the way that "loving's ache/ and every break/ find their solace/ in the Divine/ embrace."

Accompanied by exquisite, original artwork by the talented Bethanie Pack, as the Sparrow flies takes the reader on a poetic journey through the nuanced layers of the grief that comes with love.
