Stargazing

"★★★★★ Heather Grace Stewart is a Word Magician of light and colour."

Tony Lewis-Jones, UK poet and lecturer, author of Early Morning, Old Harbour and 11 other collections.

"★★★★★ Heather Grace Stewart is a treasure...There were several lines that clung to my bones and will for some time." Nicholas Trandahl, American poet, author of Pulling Words, Good Brave People and seven other works.

"And now for something completely different: Post-pandemic poetry. Fed up as we are with being pent-up, this collection of short and very readable verse is like a visit from a rosier future. Grace Stewart's poems are two fifths whimsy, one part Joni Mitchell, a dash of journalism and finally, an escape hatch that whisks the reader out the door and under the stars."

Peter Carter, Canadian journalist, former editor of Harrowsmith magazine and Chatelaine columnist.

From the author of Where the Butterflies Go, Leap and Caged comes a timely collection of word confections to soothe your soul. Written and compiled in lockdown during the global pandemic of 2020, this collection of non-rhyming modern poems, formal verse ( Villanelle, haiku, quintain verse) and photographs is divided into the sections Strolling, Scrolling and Stargazing. Proceeds from sales of Stargazing and Heather's other poetry collections go to Because I Am A Girl /Plan Canada. Every day millions of girls around the world are denied their basic human rights simply because they are girls. Because I Am A Girl is an initiative to help girls reach their full potential. Thank you.
