• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Sometimes we keep going not for cosmic retribution, our just reward, or as an inspirational anecdote. We keep going simply because we have no other choice. --- In this collection of poetry, short stories, and artwork, Rue Sparks exposes the reality of broken bones, scraped knees, and calloused hands. After the sudden passing of their wife in 2017, Spark's began writing poetry to chronicle their grief journey. The next seven years would take the lives of three more family members, halt a thriving career in digital advertising after the onset of debilitating illness, and begin a severe decline in health ending in the need for neurosurgery. This chronicles that journey and those like it, exploring themes like grief, chronic illness, and queer identities. These poems, artwork, and short stories are their legacy; created for those among us who suffer and want to know they're not alone.

Autorenporträt

Rue Sparks, Writer Artist

A widow, disabled, and a member of the queer community, Rue Sparks traverses the equally harsh and cathartic landscape where trauma and healing align to create stories that burrow into the hearts and minds of their readers. In addition to The Stars Will Guide Us Back, Sparks has authored the novella Daylight Chasers, writes the web serial The Dragon Warden, and will be releasing the contemporary mystery novel The Fable of Wren later in 2021. They live in Noblesville, Indiana in the USA with their sweet senior support dog and still draw and paint when they're physically able.
