Half the proceeds go to Unicef's Gift of Education project. "A lovely lilt of language slides between the horrendous and hilarious in these poems." -Penn Kemp, author of 25 collections, celebrated foremother of Canadian sound poetry.
“Readers of Where the Butterflies Go will already be expecting accomplished, fresh and lively work from Heather Grace Stewart, but even they will be surprised by the strength of this new collection, this genuine Leap, so direct, political and feminine by turns that it can take your breath away. A must for new and already hooked fans.” —Sally Evans, poet and Editor, Poetry Scotland.

The poem 'Forever August keeps calling me back to my copy of Leap. By way of contrast, I love the black and white instantaneity/foreverness of 'Coping.' Heather Grace Stewart has a fine hand that knows how to dip into the emotional well and then paint outside the lines, outside the box, outside of herself, where everyone else is. She has a gift of looking inside a minute, seeing what makes it tick and then explaining it to us. Bravo.
This book by Heather Grace Stewart is fabulous. This collection, as with her last collection, she brings a great deal of humanity to her poetry and it takes you through the gamut of human emotions. It also displays some beautiful photography by this talented young Canadian. She really touched my heart.
Heather Grace Stewart has outdone herself with this collection. These are modern poems for a modern world, full of humor, sincerity, moxie, and sensual beauty. The accompanying photographs add a sense of wonder and depth, and make you want to jump into every scene. Heather Grace Stewart has taken the Leap into greatness, and we cannot help but follow in her footsteps. A must-own for every woman (and man, too!).
Buy this.. now! Don't walk, don't run.... LEAP! As always Heather captures tiny pieces of life and magnifies them into their most radiant and decadent. A pleasure.
