Hold Them Close

The poems in Hold Them Close express the joys and hardships of life in its breadth, from the sacred story of Christian spirituality, to the profanity of injustice; through the isolation of the poet and PhD student's life and the deep connections to family, friends, community, and creation. In her third collection of poetry, Sarah Agnew continues to give voice to vulnerability, and thereby seek strength.

Sarah Agnew is a storyteller, poet, and minister (Uniting Church in Australia), sharing poetry and story from Australia to the UK, USA, and beyond. Discover more at sarahtellsstories.blogspot.com and praythestory.blogspot.com.
