Bending Toward The Light - 9781665729475

standing at the edge of a ravine, I feel myself turn and fall backward, headfirst into you the moon is tangerine in the slow burn I reach toward and can taste her fruit Through disorder and chaos, there is still love--if we challenge ourselves to see it. In a debut volume of free verse, Mikayla Elias shares a glimpse into their heart while reflecting on the ways they and others see themselves. Within vivid reflections, Elias leads others on a journey of self-discovery while exploring nature, Mother Earth, love, and everything inbetween that includes a willow that bends tenderly under pressure, gold-plated yarn weaving through eternity, the heartache of lost love, the uniqueness in the paranoia brought on by isolation, the depths of love, and the well of devotion. Bending Toward the Light is a collection of poetry that lyrically reimagines what it is to feel while building upon the precarious nature of existence.
