Milkweed for Monarchs is a collection of poems rooted in the belief that true life is born from struggle, and that joy is most deeply known by those who have walked through sorrow. In these pages, Seraphim George turns to the natural world-milkweed fields, ocean tides, winter branches, the flight of monarchs-to find mirrors of the human spirit and the Creator who shapes it.

Like the caterpillar that eats the bitter milkweed leaf before becoming a butterfly, we too are changed in ways we rarely understand while they are happening. These poems reflect on how loss, disappointment, and waiting can be the soil from which beauty grows, and how stillness itself can be holy work.

With a voice both tender and unflinching, Seraphim writes of seasons in nature and seasons of the soul, revealing the God who enters our suffering, reshapes it, and brings us into new life. Whether by a quiet pond or in the heart of a storm, each poem invites the reader to linger-to see what is small and overlooked, to notice the fingerprints of grace in the turning of leaves and the passing of time.

Milkweed for Monarchs is a hymn for those in the in-between places, a reminder that the bitter leaf is not the end of the story, and that the sky is wide enough for all who dare to take flight.
