The Love Around Us

do something you love
for today and every day
ripples in a pond

There is so much love all around us, in both the momentous and the mundane.

Wending through familiar human experiences, Laura Lee Bond's poetry oscillates between the refined and the raw, between the visceral and the mystical, and between the harrowing and the humorous. Written with striking relatability to our own humanity, Laura Lee's words swirl around us, ripple and expand outward, as we stand reading on the shore, each haiku gently lapping at our own reflections.

Accompanying essays included in this volume, give us a deeper dive into the author's insights and her writing process. The Love Around Us is a bright delight.
