State of a Sunflower Soul - Paperback

by Dabria Karapita-Parker (Author)

what sparrow cries when it is released

from its gilded, glinting cage?

let me tell you this:

it doesn't, it sings

State of a Sunflower Soul is Dabria's debut book of poetry, crafted to be a stunning work of art worthy of adorning your coffee table, bookshelf, and bedside. Written during her divorce at twenty-two years old, it is a poetic telling of shattering heartbreak, healing from abuse, lingering heartache, finding the light, becoming comfortable in your body again, and the aftermath of hope.

A fresh perspective that aches with the familiar, this book will resonate with anyone who has questioned whether they are enough, and has had to put the pieces of their life back together after the ending.

With the stunning illustrations and her signature style of Polaroid poetry* contained within, State of a Sunflower Soul promises to stand out from any books of poetry you've read before. For the poetry skeptics, this work of art may just convince you to fall in love with poetry.
