Book Synopsis
Slow down, zoom in, and you will see breathtaking details all around you-not only in the whole of a loved one but in their eyes; not only in the forest but in the twig of a single tree.
Every inch of creation is a love letter waiting to be discovered. The intricate designs imprinted into light, little twigs, and giant trees alike all contain the fingerprints of the divine. And that does not exclude you and I-we, too, are something marked by the majestic and a part of a message God is speaking on the earth today.
In Brittany DiSalvo's stunning poetry debut, Sincerely, Light, DiSalvo boldly owns her role as a poet in this world, and with that, uses her craft like an experienced tour guide at an archaeological site, brushing off the dust of the seemingly mundane, and uncovering beauty and divinity for readers where it is frequently overlooked.
This collection of observations foraged from nature and life itself celebrates the love that breathed us into being. These poems are declarations of honesty and of worship. DiSalvo's poetry acts like a magnet that pulls the heart deeper into wonder. Each piece offers a deeply wrought hope that the things now shrouded in darkness will be abundantly brightened by Light.
Light is benevolent, severe and kind, near and irrevocably involved with us-within us. This book is an invitation to come and see how all of creation is a living letter signed, Sincerely, Light, and an invitation for you to find yourself entrenched deeper in the beauty of it all.
