A collection of poetry and short stories, Caroline Conway's book explores the complexities of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Beginning at its darkest, Petrichor cultivates a seedling of hope that only grows as the book goes on. Just as the scent of petrichor promises rain at last to the parched and the withered, Petrichor brings relief to a seemingly desolate emotional desert.
Caroline Conway's collection of poems and stories, Petrichor, illuminates varying themes of abandonment, hope, mortality, and grace in a world that owes us nothing. Conway's speakers and characters, be it in a mythical land of birds, or in a suburban neighborhood, search for life's trajectory. The final speaker '...[wakes] to earth's thrum, ' and it implores, 'Listen / for the echoes: I'm coming. I'm coming.' - Alison Palmer, author of The Need for Hiding
