my heart walks in pieces

Written in the middle of lakes.Written on walks in the rain.Written in the beating of a heart and the setting of the sun.Full of beautiful imagery and a reverence for the little things in life, these poems trace the depths of our connections and our estrangements with nature and with each other. In her first poetry collection, Alaskan poet Kerri J. Roe explores the ways nature transforms our pieces into something beautiful. Set in a land of mountains, oceans, and trees, these poems touch on human frailty and strength, as well as our relationships with ourselves and with others. This is a book that traverses the rough terrain of living, while returning again and again to the tenacious courage of hope.
