Summary
In this collection of "unwashed", or early works, Mia Vance presents a selection of her poetry written in the years prior to her foray back into formal education - this time with poetry at the forefront of her focus. The work covers a wide range of subjects and moods, each piece rendered with Vance's particular eye for imagery, ear for music, and rhythmic pulse.
Critic reviews
"Mia Vance's debut collection of poetry sings with dazzling lyricism as she deftly weaves together threads of longing, loss, and the hope that guides us through it all. Instead of Butterflies is like rain on a summer day, refreshing and gentle - it is the gift that we all need after this year of enduring uncertainty." (Joye Prince)
"Instead of Butterflies is a brilliant exploration of time, place, presence and hope - poetry that holds the weight of the world with steady, tender hands." (Melissa Rose)
"Courageous and honest with a touch of magic, this collection is like a warm hug from an old friend on both your best and hardest days - filled with infinite gifts and wisdom." (Eric Braman)
