Carol of the Mourning Dove – coming soon!

Coming to you soon – Carol of the Mourning Dove. Read below for a synopsis of my forthcoming poetry book, Carol of the Mourning Dove, which contains 75 personal and hope-filled poems.

With a release date expected during Autumn, you’ll find warmth and comfort between the pages, but most of all you will encounter the hope of Christ transcending every season no matter how the life story is playing out.

“Brighter days ahead, they always say. Sometimes true on earth. Definitely true in heaven with our Lord at last. But mostly it seems like those ‘brighter days ahead’ are found when after the heartbreak and during the sorrow and struggles to follow we find ourselves ever nearer to the Lord—glad and at peace—despite it all. Carol of the Mourning Dove encapsulates those vulnerable years when heartache and grief bubbles beneath the surface even while joy can be tasted so fully and every inch of beauty is savored.

Sharing innermost stories from her past and present, Sierra invites you into the poetry of her heart and the lyrics she would give the Mourning Dove as she holds on tight to her Lord and Refuge with an often weak, but staunch white knuckle grasp. Personal and vivid, these poems proclaim the ribbon of Hope weaving through the turn of seasons both out of doors and in our souls.”

I will be sharing more details with you in the weeks to come! All these things pictured above have been part of the writing & creating process.

The Mourning Dove sketch is done by my husband and in real life that beautiful bird looks alive! So excited to incorporate my husband’s art into this new poetry book, Carol of the Mourning Dove.

Stay tuned!!

Check out my two previously published poetry books, Hope Gives a Eulogy and Swan Song of a Scarecrow. Both are an intimate portrait of my life as a woman and a wrestling with grief and joy respectively. All my poetry is deeply personal, reflective, rooted in my faith in Christ, and very inspired by nature.
