About this ebook
'We met too soon, some said, and now you are gone, and I am looking at the dawn of a thousand tomorrows, still holding onto yesterday’s sun.’
‘Beautiful and haunting ... If you’re in need of some poetry - this is the collection you need for some angsty mood reading.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ NetGalley reviewer, Educator
‘Wonderful ...Truly beautiful and moving.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Goodreads reviewer, Librarian
‘I found myself imagining flying free with songs on darkened wings, all knowing yet little seen, and holding in my hands a thousand suns. It was exhilarating.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodreads reviewer, Educator
Bright Dust is author Jane Lightbourne’s first poetry collection, published by award-winning Nevada Street Press.
Reminiscent of the work of early 20th century imagist poets, these poems celebrate all forms of love, from desire to treachery and betrayal, from love as destroyer to love’s destruction and loss, the consolations of domestic love, and finally to the ultimate solace found in the force and beauty of the natural world, and the peace that comes from an acceptance of our place within it.
Readers are invited to contemplate the intricacies of human experience through carefully written, poignant verses that are brief, evocative, and thought-provoking.
Praise for Bright Dust
‘Beautiful and profound but also tender and enigmatic, Bright Dust is a poetic odyssey that captures the essence of the human condition, making it a testament to Jane Lightbourne's promising talent in the literary world … Lightbourne’s work invites an appreciation for the subtle complexities of life and love, rendered with a delicate touch that speaks to the fragility and beauty of human connections.’ The International Review of Books (AWARDED A BADGE OF EXCELLENCE)
Jane Lightbourne is also the author of Loss, a love story, for adults, and two chapter books for children, My Cat Called Red and A Tale of Three Tabbies.
