Sales surpassed Heather's initial goal; she continues to donate 50 percent of revenue from the sale of each book to Unicef's Gift of Education fund. Heather Grace Stewart (hgrace.com) is an author, poet, and photographer. Her poems have appeared in Canadian literary journals, international anthologies (Routes, Babylon Burning) e-zines, and the British small presses. Where the Butterflies Go is her first complete collection. Reviews:"Whirlwind poetry that never hesitates...always delightful and rarely what you expect. We need poetry like this." —Sally Evans, poet and Editor, Poetry Scotland. "Thanks to an exhilarating directness and a worked-for simplicity of language, not to mention a nicely self-deprecating sense of humour on occasion, this is a book full of sharply drawn images, honest poignancy and frank admissions."—Poet-Journalist Tom Phillips. "These poems have a humanity, a goodness, an almost other-worldliness about them." —Tony Lewis-Jones, Author of Anytime and nine other collections.

Heather's poetry is inspirational, peaceful, funny and dare i say it.. sane. It's like sitting with a best freind who can put things into proper perspective, and you don't mind that she didn't buy the coffee.
"Where the Butterflies Go "
Kathryn McL. Collins
Pathos, wisdom and humor are keynote to the poetry written in Where the Butterflies Go. Kudos to Heather Grace Stewart, with appreciation of her poetic prowess throughout the pages of this book. An apt review appears already, perhaps unwittingly, in the final poem of this superb collection, her last two lines:
“I would not change
one thing.”
”Rewind,” the poem from which the above lines are taken, addresses the musings of many a reader. Would we, if we could, relive our pasts? Our poet’s choice is never. A commentary on life worth living, life worth saving and life worth accepting;... More >

"What Really Matters"
REVIEW BY UK POET TOM PHILLIPS
Arranged under three broad headings – ‘Pain’, ‘Growth’, ‘Family’ – Heather Grace Stewart’s Where The Butterflies Go gets at the nub of what it means to try and live in a world which appears to be passing by at an ever more astonishing speed and where what’s pumped out through TV and computer screens seems startlingly at odds with both the realities of ordinary, day-to-day existence and our more humane impulses and aspirations. It is a book of illusion, disillusion and, as it were, re-illusion, an acknowledgement of loss and the discovery of fragile compensations. The great risk for poetry like this, of... More >

"Re: Moving"
Now that I am finished reading this book I should give a full review. This is an amazing work. Heather has an ability to bring a humanity to the page like few people do. I read some these poems and it feels like they were written for me. In the early Morning Hush so summed up my own relationship with my Wife, It had me bawling like a fool. She was quite ill at the time and since then we have lost her. Heather;s work has helped me heal a little and keep going and taking care of our son. When I got to Rewind, I saw the last line and it said "I would not change one thing". I thought perhaps, Maybe I would have bought this book a little sooner.
