In A Thousand Rainbows Flashing, Pattie Palmer-Baker turns to the natural world-bumblebees, cormorants, crows, snakes, and Canada geese-to navigate the unfathomable grief of losing her beloved husband. Through attentive observation and quiet wonder, she searches for meaning in the gaze of a crow, finds kinship with cormorants whose blue eyes mirror his, and longs to become a Canada goose, flying beside him beyond the limits of loss. These poems move gently between earth and sky, sorrow and transformation, asking how love endures when presence becomes memory. Rooted in nature and infused with longing, this collection traces a path through mourning toward a place just beyond now-where stars blaze, rainbows shimmer, and darkness no longer has the final word. Each poem is illustrated with one of Pattie's artworks.
