Days of Lavender

Days of Lavender is a contemporary poetry collection by Seattle writer Walter Red that traces rebirth in the wake of loss. Blending ritual, confession, and lyrical meditation, the book explores grief, tenderness, and the slow return of hope.

Written as both ritual and confession, this Legacy Rebirth Edition gathers poems, archival texts, invocations, and essays into a single field of soft resistance.

Through earth, water, fire, and air, Red transforms grief into renewal, desire into devotion, and silence into song. Tender, unflinching, and alive with scent, Days of Lavender invites readers to stay soft in a world that forgets how.

This full-color hardcover edition collects archival materials, poetry, and essays into an expanded, artfully designed volume.

Seattle poet Walter Red writes at the intersection of grief, tenderness, and rebirth. Founder of Walter Red Books, his work spans poetry, mythic archives, and digital ritual art dedicated to the persistence of softness.
