Book excerpt: From R. Clift, comes her first guided poetry journal capturing the beauty and mystery of wildflowers and their secret meanings. Featuring 100 Poetry Prompts, Original Verse, and a Victorian Flower Dictionary. Filled to the brim with original full-color antique botanical illustrations, this field journal is crafted to guide any writer to fill its pages with poetry inspired by the Victorian meanings of flowers. Rosemary for remembrance, Bluebells for sorrowful regret, a White Rose to say 'I am worthy of you'- in the 19th century, flowers had their own language. Victorians used this secret language to send coded messages to one another- in a time when open displays of emotion were discouraged due to society's strict protocol. This language of flowers was developed for the expression of true feelings, it is these very same two-hundred-year-old sentiments that will inspire you to dive deep and explore different parts of yourself as an artist and a human. Whether you are a poet, a poetry-lover, or just someone looking for somewhere to be authentic and discover yourself, you will find a safe place to write truthfully within these pages. The Poetry of Wildflowers: Field Journal makes the perfect gift for poets, writers, sentimentalists, nature lovers, and those who adore history and the romance of days long past. 5" x 7" B6 Field Journal

Book excerpt: "wildflowers" is the first collection of 400+ poems from Katherine Henson, penning as k.e., where she uses her love of words to share her heart about love, growth, loss, and hope. This book is for you, and I hope you will see that these words were never mine to keep, but yours to find. I have been writing these words for you all along. Through the pain and love, the valleys and peaks. This title is probably deceiving. I had the hopes that all my words would be soft and gentle and kind, but my words knew better. They knew that truth is often painful, broken, and a little angry. But wildflowers, for me, stand for something spectacular. Look at them! Wherever their roots can be, they grow, grow, grow. I want to be that. I want to be tore down by life and have my seeds and roots, my soul and body, still trusting enough to find home again. I want that kind of wild. So maybe the title is good. Maybe the wildflowers understand it more than any of us. We must rebuild. I just want you to remember something, remember that life is pretty dang hard, and trying to navigate against those odds is a tough task. So be good to yourself, love yourself like crazy, and take every single thing that life gives you - good and not so good. It is all a part of it, and it all a part of your story, of you. So here is to love, and growing, and loss, and hope. P.S. None of these words are complete, and well, that is just how it goes sometimes; you will find that some of these pages have no ending, and if you come upon one you feel unfinished, know that it was always meant for you... and finish it.
