Laura Fabrycky presents a collection of poems that invite the reader to wait and worship in the anticipation of Advent, to see the world afresh through a child's eyes, to grieve alongside friends stung by a loved one's death, and to feel the nearness of humor and tragedy abroad. Written over fifteen years from various locations in America and the Middle East, and in witness to several seasons of life, these are poems that ring with the making of daily life and embody the quotidian joys and heartaches that are true for all people, everywhere. This beautiful volume makes a superb gift for the Advent and Christmas seasons, as well as for those who value the place of poetry in everyday life.About the Author: Laura Merzig Fabrycky is a writer, editor, and poet.
