Sparks of Light Fly shares the full emotional range of a profoundly empathetic speaker wondering "what kind of night-time is it" when we live in a world of "constant pleas for miracles."

Her poems on injustice for families separated at the border, for survivors, among others display the poet's big heart. Nature runs throughout and the connection the poet makes as in "Fragile Beings Sacrificed," keeps you in a state of wonder. -Angela Trudell Vasquez, Author of My People Redux and Madison Poet Laureate 2020-2024
