A Spiritual Bridge

by Mzia Kvirikashvili Lawrence

With this book, I wanted to give at least a glimmer of joy to my eternally tormented country, which for decades has been so preciously owed by the freedom gained through its blood.

And poetry, after all, it is a bridge between people?s hearts. Then, walk on this bridge and connect our desires, kind people!

Goodbye (Hello)

by Ilyssa Goldsmith

Goodbye (Hello) is a love letter to the stranger, the lover, and the beloved. It is a recovered poem written for the person we may meet once, perchance never to meet again. In her first poetry collection, Goldsmith re-imagines the fine line, which exists between all hellos and goodbyes. Here, the poet raises a new provocation—one which appears to be nostalgic and old. It is just this: every goodbye is secretly an unmet hello in disguise.
