Cyra Sweet Dumitru
ISBN 978-0-9725562-5-5
2021 was a year of lightning strikes…for us as a nation, for the state of Texas, and for me personally. I wanted to keep my heart open even as circumstances held new ways to break it. I wanted to keep breathing fully. Through writing these poems, I processed my shock and grief, and attempted to minimize my growing feelings of disorientation and numbness. Through writing these poems, I sought to balance shock and grief mindfully with images of beauty, reflections of gratitude.
