VESTIGES by Savannah Grant

$17.99

Honest and moving and full of sharp images, Vestiges mourns and accepts a relationship’s demise. The speaker sits awake “in the heaviness of not quite rain,” lists her “tragedy clothes, and eventually asks “a louder question,” knowing the answer but longing for the why. Sharp memories and poignant realizations carry her to a needful knowing: “our differences / they’re under us / a riverbed”—and to the complex but affirming acceptance of the final poem, “Song to Myself.”

–Ellen Doré Watson, author of pray me stay eager (Alice James Books)

Recommended Reading: Vestiges by Savannah Grant is both heartbreaking and beautiful. This stunning collection guides the reader through grief, love, and resilience, ultimately offering a path toward healing.

–Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita, Northern Kentucky University

What does too much time spent on dating apps and not enough time spent on yourself feel like? What does being under construction (spiritually speaking) look like? Are you present with the process or avoiding it, and what, if any, closure is needed or being denied? VESTIGES seeks to answer, or at least explore, these questions, as the speaker weaves through the very beginning stages of the healing journey in the context of bad dates, missed connections, and the seemingly small details of everyday life. #dating #healing #spiritual #poetry #loss #self
