While the Candle Burns, on the other hand, is a vast, eclectic blend of poetry and stories that dip into the human experience in all its warmth, depth, and humor. Judy Barrat writes in vivid detail, much like a storyteller, that brings everyday situations into a really deep, imaginative, and meaningful contemplation on love, loss, beauty, and much more. The writing combines reality and fantasy, allowing readers a range of poetry that is accessible but at the same time, rather deep. This collection extends an invitation on a heartfelt journey that explores the individuality that is our very connection.
