A Thousand Tiny Sorrows
As the curtain rises, a mother feeds her children Wheaties, but inside her there is turmoil: What do you wear on the day a doctor's verdict might destroy your life? Hang onto your hats, folks, because that's only Act I of A Thousand Tiny Sorrows, the latest collection by Carol Lynn Grellas. From the unbearable pain of a mother's death—which Grellas describes with the powerful poignancy for which she is known—to the glorious insight that “every happiness arrives without warning and turns to joy when the beauty of nothingness becomes profound,” you'll find yourself with wet eyes and choked-up throat, and hopefully, like Grellas, “grateful for the ache.” Bravo! --Boston Literary Mag...
Epitaph for the Beloved
Epitaph for the Beloved is a compelling, poetic conversation in search of hope. It is written in a lyrical narrative style and includes several poems that have been nominated or won awards. Grellas delves into such topics as love, loss, and family with a new and inspiring view. Her writing incorporates the challenges of everyday life with softness, yet often surprising unpredictably. These poems are intimate and personal, yet speak to the human experience universally. Grellas' fifth full-length collection, carries with it a devotion to the discovery of emotions and all that makes us human. In this unflinching dynamic collection, Grellas examines the very evanescence of being, with an intuitive poetic heart. The following poems have been nominated for The Pushcart Prize: The Butterfly Room, A Few Concessions. Afterlight/The Miscarriage, was nominated for Best of the Net. In 2018, A Mall in California won 2nd Place for the Jack Kerouac Prize.
Breakfast in Winter
Breakfast in Winter is a collection of 28 sonnets that ponder a vast array of topics, from the most delicate joys of motherhood to the endless ache of love and loss. Though sometimes layered within, these poems explore the bounds of humanity; an inspirational journey awaits.
In the Making of Goodbyes
A poet of the personal, Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas' book In the Making of Goodbyes takes us to the land of the heart, a transformative journey where in looking at the difficult turns of events in a life, we are tutored in humility, grace, and tenderness...Her imagery and emotion uplift and fortify. There's a flow to these poems and once in the current, you submit willingly, her voice so intimate that it feels as if she is speaking to you and only you: "Even now as you visit me in dreams, / I stroke the outline of an unseen being/ and hear the hymns of angels." To Grellas, relationship is everything-to nature, loved ones, the self. Her poems acknowledge our vulnerability as humans yet demand that we own up to the strength we have to embrace whatever life brings us. Wendy Patrice Williams, author of In Chaparral, Life on the Georgetown Divide, California
Letters from Under the Banyan Tree
Carol Lynn's Letters from Under the Banyan Tree is a delicate and deft-handed tribute to life's rituals. This woven tapestry of organic imagery and calm reflection evokes that breathless twilight moment somewhere between grief and hope, where wisdom can grow. ~ Fawn Neun, Chief Editor - The Battered Suitcase
Alice in Ruby Slippers
Laced with the elegance and spirituality of well-honed traditional and invented forms, Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas's new collection Alice in Ruby Slippers is an adult's romp through the surreal Wonderland we call life. Just as Lewis Carroll's Alice struggled with the myriad denizens down the rabbit hole, Carol Lynn's Alice, perhaps Carol herself, navigates a deeply poetic landscape of death-lost, gained, and unrequited love-terminal illness, troubled ancestry, and all that makes this world a place we should simultaneously cherish and fear. Alice in Ruby Slippers is a wonderfully imagistic search for sense in the crumbling ruin of our known world. And a wonderful addition to Stevenson's poet...
The Wanderer's Dominion
Poetry afficianados, aspiring and accomplished poets alike, will find inspiration in Grellas' poems, seamless, accessibly delivered, and engaged in the legacy of a formal construct that is as revealing and mysterious as the poems themselves.In 'Give-up-the-ghost' the poet affirms her understanding of temporal vs. eternal, the dream world in between, the laborious and often emotionally fraught maze of mortal living and, the belief, or at least the hope, that 'my spirit will transcend/unlocking me so I'm no longer pinned/reborn into an iridescent wind.' ~ Margot Brown is a 2011 Pushcart Prize Nominee, the author of Leave of Absence (Pink Petticoat Press, 2011), and editor, co-editor, and guest editor of multiple anthologies by Fortunate Childe Publications (2009-2012).
Poetry for Suzanne
Poetry for Suzanne is an anthology of some of the best poetry to be found on the Internet. For some of the contributors this is their first time as published poets, while others have already enjoyed critical success and recognition of their work.Poetry for Suzanne initially came about as a vehicle for the members of the Poetry 4 Suzanne Internet workshop/forum to come together in one published volume. It was later decided that the book should be dedicated to the Macmillan Cancer relief fund, with all proceeds from the sale of this book being donated to that charity.In the following pages you will find poetry to break your heart, poetry that will make you think and poetry that will leave you utterly (especially my contributions) confounded. But whatever your taste in poetry you will find it within these pages.
