A Poetry Journey: Echoes from the Past

Step back into the quiet strength and unspoken love of the women who lived, and loved in the shadows of wartime.

This collection weaves together sapphic love stories inspired by the untold lives of women during the 1940s: from factory workers and uniformed codebreakers to courageous ATA pilots flying without recognition. Through evocative verse, Echoes from the Past captures the fleeting moments, whispered promises, and enduring bonds that history too often forgot.

Though the women in these poems are fictional, their stories draw from real roles, settings, and sentiments of the era, a heartfelt tribute to those who might have lived and loved this way.

Each poem is a tribute to connection stolen in silence, remembered in longing, and finally spoken aloud.

This book is part of the A Poetry Journey: Through the Ages series
