In Darkness I Sought Light: A Poetry Collection

By Molly Scalf

Composed of fifty-five vividly haunted memories, confessions, and stories echoed in the dark, In Darkness I Sought Light is one woman's attempt to reclaim the light that was once stolen from her and inspire those who have all but given up to keep fighting.

This poetry collection is for those whose camera roll is full of words to live by and the drifters who still live in their parent's basements. It's for the misguided teenagers and romantic millennials.

As you sift through the pages of this startling debut from up-and-coming author Molly Scalf, kindly take note of the wilding magic that has made its way onto every page and know that these written words were meant for you to take home.
