So Many Wings

"Kathleen Patrick portrays humanity at its flawed worst and inspiring best."

From the best-selling author of Airmail: A Story of War in Poems, comes So Many Wings, a captivating and moving collection of poetry that reminds the reader that being human is tricky business.

So Many Wings spans the spectrum of emotions from elation, celebration, and joy, to anxiety, grief, and despair. Like photographs in an album, each poem captures a succinct emotional moment in time. Packed with universal truths, readers might recognize themselves, or someone they know, in many of the poems.

Through simple language and beautiful detail, each poem tells a story, and each story flows effortlessly into the next. The reader is taken on one journey after another through an emotional landscape. Whether foreign or familiar, the path is worth following to its conclusion. Patricks voice will stay with you long after you read the last page.

So Many Wings is a book about womens stories: our voices, our roles, our dreams. It is also a book about the men who hear those voices and those who dont.
