Poetry that brings you to a place to heal, to pause, to surrender yourself over to love and compassion. 

Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg dedicated herself to write a new poem every day during April, National Poetry month, through the Coronavirus Pandemic. These poems inspire healing for the soul and soothing love for the heart, while we all had to take pause during this unprecedented time in history. These poems mark a time when we went into our deepest selves, our deepest aches, where we found ourselves feeling almost helpless with sudden and drastic change, grief, and loss. Each poem has a unique writing prompt created by Maureen or inspired by her daily life during April.

All revenues received from sales of the book and ebook will be donated to COVID-19 relief efforts.
