How does one navigate a life forward after being lost and stagnant with grief? With a longing for answers, Nishi Patel's second poetry collection is wonderous and philosophical.
Sometimes the Birds Come Back
is an inquisitive journey interrogating the nature of death and the meanings of life with the possibility of finding happiness again.
Complete with hand-drawn illustrations,
is a meditation on the beauty and grace of the natural world, noticing the cyclical nature of grief, and rekindling our relationships with oneself, the people we love, and the earth we live on. In these poems, memories, grief, happiness, and longing are all fields of gold.
