Wild Geese Know: A short love story in modern verse and paintings (Heather Grace Stewart Poetry) Paperback – 13 Mar. 2024

Heather Grace Stewart’s latest Collection is a bold inventive mixed media Chapbook which tells a Love Story. This ‘tale as old as Time’ is beautifully worked, with many poignant and beautiful moments, and illustrated with Heather’s own excellent graphics. Heather’s use of language challenges cynicism, and she is in total control of the emotions she tellingly evokes. Another fabulous addition to Grace Stewart’s compelling poetic oeuvre.

I haven't read much poetry but I loved this book. It tells the story of a couple and their life together. It is full of the emotions of a young couple starting out in life. The memorable moments in their life, their family and world events. It is accompanied by beautiful paintings. The author captures all of this so well.I received a free copy of this book and I voluntarily leave this honest review.

This may be a bijou-sized poetry collection, but it packs a mighty punch.Each poem can be read just as it is — an evocative and thought provoking image formed by words — but together, they gather like a strand of pearls to create a lifelong story of love and family.The poems tell of everyday things, of life events, and of deep emotions, all of which we can recognize and feel at home with. Some of them made me smile, others made me wistful, and some gripped me tight with uncomfortable familiarity. Just the way I want poetry to make me feel.Accompanying the poems are several paintings created by the author. With blazing colors and sweeping vistas, they form a vivd backdrop to her words, and create a space to pause and take a breath.If you’ve ever been unsure of attempting to read poetry, give this little gem a try. Finishing the book is a breeze, processing the words and feeling the story will give you pleasure for a lot longer.

We purchased 2 copies of this book - one for us and one for a gift. They arrived in a very short period of time. The book is so beautifully written and illustrated.

Ancestry and artistry woven together with heart in this lovingly crafted book by the talented Heather Grace Stewart.Read & reread this beautiful creation. Eagerly awaiting the print copy to add to my library and cherish over the years.
