I'd Say These Miracles Work

A collection of poetry and prose about the things that break us and the ways that the seeking for, and the discovery of, personal miracles can shape our lives along the way. Drawing from personal experience and the world around, this collection touches on a variety of topics - life, love, loss, friendship, belief, and the author's deep roots to an old farm on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. Largely influenced by childhood piano lessons and many years spent in choral groups, the author arranged this body of work in four movements- with music terms heading most pieces and footnotes referencing other works (mainly music) following many pieces, allowing the reader the opportunity for various levels of engagement, insight, connection, and perspective throughout the book. The reader doesn't have to love poetry, they just have to be willing to read it, for this collection to resonate with them at some level.
