We live between root and sky-held by earth while longing for flight.
Between Root and Sky is a contemporary poetry collection exploring grief, love, and spiritual transformation through nature-based, contemplative verse. Organized in three movements-Thresholds, The Unraveling, and Returning-these poems trace the human journey from deep attachment, through loss and dissolution, to quiet integration.
These poems do not rush toward healing. They sit with grief, honor loneliness, and find the sacred in ordinary moments. Nature appears as teacher and witness-offering steadiness when words fall away. What emerges is not triumph, but the understanding that we can carry loss as carefully as love, remaining rooted while still reaching.
Written in accessible, lyrical language, Between Root and Sky offers poetry that feels like companionship in difficult seasons.
