Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Some stories do not end-they soften, linger, and learn how to live inside us.How We Stayed: Poems on Endings and Memory is a luminous meditation on what it means to love, to lose, and to carry forward what time cannot erase. Moving through childhood wonder, first friendships, intimate love,…devastating grief, quiet reckoning, and hard-won acceptance, this collection traces the emotional architecture of a life shaped not by permanence, but by connection.These poems are attentive to the smallest moments: sunlight on a porch, a chair left empty, a name that trembles on the tongue, a road opening where one once closed. Memory is not treated as a burden here, but as a companion - sometimes heavy, sometimes gentle, always shaping who we become. Love is rendered in its many forms: tender and reckless, enduring and fragile, present even in absence. Grief is given room to breathe, to change, to teach, rather than to be rushed toward resolution.Lora Dickens writes with lyrical clarity and emotional precision, allowing each poem to stand as both personal artifact and shared mirror. The collection unfolds as a quiet narrative, guiding the reader from nostalgia through heartbreak and loss, toward reflection, resilience, and the courage to keep living fully despite impermanence. What remains unfinished is intentional - an open space where the reader's own memories, regrets, and hopes are invited to enter.How We Stayed is for anyone who has loved deeply, mourned quietly, or wondered how to move forward without leaving everything behind. It is a book about endings that are not conclusions, about staying - within memory, within love, within the ongoing work of being human. Long after the final page, its echoes remain, reminding us that even as life changes, something essential endures. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ghosts in Summer is a quiet, haunting, and deeply intimate journey into the rooms we carry within us-the rooms built from childhood afternoons, family rituals, and the silences that shaped us long before we understood their weight. In these poems, Lora Dickens walks gently through the landsc…apes of home, gathering the fragments of memory that cling like dust to old windowpanes: the laughter that once spilled across porches, the unspoken rules that governed the dinner table, the ghosts of conversations left unfinished.With a voice both tender and unflinching, Dickens explores the bittersweet nostalgia that follows us into adulthood-the ache of leaving, the unexpected freedom it brings, and the lingering shadows of what we could never quite say. Each poem is a doorway into a moment suspended in time: a father's hands teaching quiet resilience, a mother's lullabies softening the edges of night, siblings learning to love and wound in equal measure, and the familiar rooms that seem to speak long after they have emptied.This collection is not merely an elegy to the past but a meditation on transformation. It traces the long, winding journey from childhood innocence through the complexities of family life, to the quiet reconciliations that arrive only when we dare to look back. Ghosts in Summer reveals that memory is both anchor and compass, that silence can bruise and heal, and that the act of remembering is itself a kind of homecoming.Poignant, lyrical, and beautifully observant, this book invites readers to linger, to listen, and to find pieces of their own story in its warm, fading light.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In A Garden Once Ours, Lora Dickens invites readers into a world both intimate and expansive, a landscape where love and time entwine in all their beauty, fragility, and complexity. These poems move gracefully through the seasons of the heart - from the tender awakenings of first love to the… fierce heat of passion, from the shadowed ache of loss to the quiet resilience of renewal. Dickens writes with a lyrical touch, capturing the fleeting moments that define our lives and the lasting impressions they leave on the soul.This collection is an exploration of memory and longing, of how love shapes us and how time teaches us to carry both joy and sorrow with grace. Each poem tends to the delicate threads of human experience: the small miracles of connection, the heartbreak of absence, the enduring power of remembrance, and the gentle art of letting go. In Dickens's hands, grief becomes a teacher, longing becomes a language, and hope emerges not as a grand proclamation but as a quiet, persistent bloom.Whether you have loved deeply, lost painfully, or simply wish to witness the subtle rhythms of the human heart, A Garden Once Ours offers a space to pause, reflect, and find solace. These poems are a celebration of tenderness, a meditation on impermanence, and a testament to the courage it takes to continue loving in the face of change. Lora Dickens reminds us that even when a garden seems abandoned, the seeds of what we once cherished still live, waiting to bloom again.This is a book for anyone who has ever tended their own heart with care, and for those ready to see the quiet, enduring beauty that grows in the spaces left behind.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. To remember is to live twice - once in experience, and again in the quiet after. Carrying the Weight of Light is a meditation on the tender gravity of memory, where love, loss, and becoming intertwine in the fragile fabric of time. In these poems, Lora Dickens traces the invisible lines betw…een what we keep and what we must let go, revealing how light - even when heavy - teaches us to endure.Through lyrical language and emotional honesty, Dickens explores how the past echoes within us: in the scent of rain on childhood soil, in the silence after heartbreak, in the moments when we almost forget who we were. Each poem is both elegy and awakening - a reminder that memory, though burdened with longing, is also the source of our illumination.This collection moves through the cycles of grief, healing, and rediscovery with a voice that is intimate yet universal. It invites readers to pause, breathe, and listen for the small miracles hidden within their own remembering. To carry the weight of light, as Dickens shows, is to learn the art of tenderness - to find grace in endurance, beauty in imperfection, and hope in what remains.Carrying the Weight of Light is not just a book of poems. It is a quiet companion for those who have loved deeply, lost greatly, and are learning, still, to become again. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Where We Were Free is a tender, aching return to the landscapes that raised us-the kitchens warm with morning light, the backyards that held our bravest dreams, the quiet streets we memorized step by step. In this luminous collection, Lora Dickens gathers the fragments of home, childhood, a…nd the long, bittersweet journey of leaving, weaving them into poems that hold both the sharpness of loss and the soft glow of memory.These poems travel across time like small lanterns, illuminating the innocence we once lived in, the discoveries that shaped us, and the departures that remade us. They linger in the corners of old houses, in the laughter caught between siblings, in the scent of rain on warm pavement, and in the tender hush of goodbyes we were never ready to speak. With striking imagery and emotional precision, Dickens explores what it means to grow up, to long for what has passed, and to reconcile with the places that made us who we are.At once nostalgic and forward-looking, Where We Were Free invites readers to sit with their own memories-to honor the echoes of childhood, the wounds of leaving, and the quiet triumph of becoming. These poems remind us that home is never just a place; it is a pulse we carry, a constellation of moments that continues to shape our steps long after we have walked away.For anyone who has ever stood between who they were and who they are becoming, this collection offers companionship, clarity, and the comforting truth that even the roads we leave behind continue to lead us toward ourselves.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When We Were Rain is a journey into the soft-weathered places of memory-those corners of childhood and adolescence where light lingers, laughter echoes, and the heart learns its earliest vocabularies of wonder, longing, and loss.In these pages, Lora Dickens gathers the fragments of youth lik…e scattered raindrops on an open palm. Each poem returns to a moment once lived and almost forgotten-barefoot summers, whispered secrets, rusted swings, unfinished letters, first glances, first heartbreaks.Moments that slipped through time, yet stayed.This collection moves through the innocence of early days, the tremors of first encounters, the ache of growing pains, the tender reckonings of change, and the luminous quiet of reflection.It is a book for anyone who has ever felt time tug gently at their sleeve.A book for those who still hear echoes when they pass the places they once called home.A book for the ones who remember how it felt to be held by a season, by a friendship, by a fleeting, unforgettable hour.Through lyrical storytelling and intimate imagery, the poems invite readers to revisit the landscapes of their own becoming-riversides and rooftops, playgrounds and porches, rainstorms and bedrooms where young hearts first learned how to hope, how to break, and how to begin again.Here, nostalgia is not a longing backwards but a soft illumination of the present.Here, memory is a companion.A witness.A quiet keeper of who we have been.When We Were Rain reminds us that the past is never as distant as it seems. It drifts beside us like weather-shaping us, softening us, teaching us how to love what was while still stepping gently into what remains.A book for anyone who carries their younger self tenderly inside them.A book for anyone who remembers.

They linger in the corners of old houses, in the laughter caught between siblings, in the scent of rain on warm pavement, and in the tender hush of goodbyes we were never ready to speak. With striking imagery and emotional precision, Dickens explores what it means to grow up, to long for what has passed, and to reconcile with the places that made us who we are.At once nostalgic and forward-looking, Where We Were Free invites readers to sit with their own memories-to honor the echoes of childhood, the wounds of leaving, and the quiet triumph of becoming. These poems remind us that home is never just a place; it is a pulse we carry, a constellation of moments that continues to shape our steps long after we have walked away.For anyone who has ever stood between who they were and who they are becoming, this collection offers companionship, clarity, and the comforting truth that even the roads we leave behind continue to lead us toward ourselves.
