Hello, fabulous readers!
We’re here briefly today to reveal to you the cover for Amy’s forthcoming Q2 release, Life Had Other Plans. Life Had Other Plans is Amy’s third collection of poetry, inspired by her experiences in 2024 dealing with cancer. The poems are a frank but inspiring and uplifting exploration of what happens when life throws us curve balls, and early-release poems have been so well received on Instagram and Facebook. We are super excited for this collection!
In Life Had Other Plans, Amy Laurens provides an intimate exploration of what happens when life throws unexpected challenges our way. With a voice both vulnerable and fierce, whether confronting the harsh reality of cancer or celebrating the simple, transformative moments of everyday life, Laurens’ poetry is a testament to resilience and the beauty in life’s twists and turns. From the metaphoric waves of homecoming to the striking imagery of fireflies in bones, these verses resonate with anyone confronting life’s detours and finding strength in the face of the unknown.
Perfect for lovers of contemporary poetry that finds grace in adversity, this collection invites readers to pause, reflect, and find meaning in life’s surprises.
Life Had Other Plans, coming to stores on June 2! (And here on Inkprint Press four weeks earlier 😉 )
