Anne Leigh Parrish’s latest poetry collection delves into the depths of grief, exploring the nuances of loneliness and loss with an elevated, thoughtful voice. Yet within its pages, there is also joy—a celebration of the world’s beauty, where art and nature rise to meet sorrow, challenging despair. Here, those who have wronged us and those we have wounded do not seek forgiveness, only remembrance. Accompanied by twenty stunning illustrations from Kathryn Gerhardt, these seventy-eight poems invite readers on a journey where emotion and observation intertwine, balancing passion with a keen eye for truth.

Praise for THE BANISHED AND THE DEAD

Offering no absolution, the book portrays human emotions as dualistic: joy braided with sorrow, and clarity shadowed by doubt. A stark, deliberate confrontation with the truths people choose to remember and the ones people struggle to name, the poems collected in The Banished and the Dead highlight time’s indifference as an essential force in shaping human understandings of identity and legacy.
