It is a work written by a poet with an enormous heart and a fine talent for expressing emotions, for making them exquisitely relatable.A book of love and loss that teaches as it reveals, \u003cem\u003eHeart Like Leaves\u003c\/em\u003e shares wisdom and offers comforting arms. There is, in this collection, a sense of bravery-not exactly strength, certainly not a false bravura, but a willingness to open, to disclose, to describe and to share emotions of pain and loss and the acceptance of the you who remains to begin an altered path, to carve out of unknown cloth the person you have to become.Whether you have experienced great loss or not, you will find familiar moments in this book as you gain the insight and the armor needed to be a human being in this life. - Dd.

These poignant poems honor her brother's memory and offer inspiration to all who have cared for and lost loved ones. - Anne Dupré, author of \u003cem\u003eWhere Dreams Live \u003c\/em\u003e In \u003cem\u003eHeart Like Leaves\u003c\/em\u003e, Barbara Novack gives us forty-one lyrical, beautifully written, profoundly moving poems about loss and grieving as she journeys through the illness and death of a beloved brother. This is brave poetry that never backs down in the face of unspeakable loss: sometimes nightmarish, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes heartrendingly beautiful, but always honest, clear, and steadfast, and in the end consoling where consolation at first seemed impossible. - Mary Mackey, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Jaguars That Prowl Our Dreams, \u003c\/em\u003ewinner of the 2019 Eric Hoffer Small Press Award Barbara Novack is an incredible poet with incredible insight into life's situation and emotion. - Lorraine LoFrese Conlin, Nassau County Poet Laureate 2015-2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47352059035897,"sku":"9781421837208","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Wkw4ME5lT29UZTIycWF2TVBnRGROUT09.webp?v=1769805478","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/heart-like-leaves-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
