    About this ebook

    Bright Star: 12 Poems to Inspire Book 1


    An illustrated book of poems about births and beginnings.


    “A lovely, emotional collection, something to treasure.” THE BOOKWORMERY


    Bright Star is the first book in the Twelve Poems to Inspire series, a range of gift books for festivals like Valentine’s and Mother’s Day, and life occasions, like bereavement or new beginnings. Bright Star celebrates Christmas, other births, and beginnings of all kinds.


    These twelve poems celebrate hope and the returning of light, and encourage us to rejoice in the human capacity to begin again and start over. 


    In accessible, sometimes conversational, language the poet brings messages from the depth dimension, reassuring us that all is unfolding as it should.


    Divided into four sections: Rebirth, Renew, Reconnect, and Rejoice, each poem is chosen and arranged by Orna Ross, and beautifully illustrated with a relevant picture from a contemporary photographer or artist. It is a collection that explores what it truly means to live an inspired life, attuned to all its aspects.


    These are the kind of poems you reread often. You can rest on them and build a foundation on them. Experience the wonder of rebirth and starting over, through the powerful pleasure of inspirational poetry.


    A beautiful gift for Christmas, or for anyone beginning anew.
