Böcker av Rachel Look

Rachel Look's The Pearl Ring is a collection of poems about love, loss, heartbreak, and hope that are as emotionally gripping as they are beautifully written. Anyone with a heart will respond to their brutal honesty and imagery. Rachel moves the readers with her through a spectrum of emotion in her response to the loss of first love: from the feelings of personal betrayal, loss, and calls for help, to the first moments of recovery and renewal. But she doesn't just paint a picture of her own pain. She seeks to connect and offer encouragement to others experiencing a similar anguish. Rachel tells her reader, "Jump my dear, / And soar. / Even if the wind / Takes you to another / Heart break. / At least you know / Now how to fly." She states in the prologue to the collection: "For we bind together in our stories. / And become one in every tear / That dare stained our cheeks." Rachel's collection The Pearl Ring demonstrates with sensitivity and beauty that power of personal connection-no matter what the heartbreak, we can overcome anything through the power of shared stories.
