“Your guide is a fiery sword, blazing into the night, and your heart carved in ore, weighs the lives lost from light,” writes Christiane Carol Flores in her debut book of poetry, Take Heaven With You. Flores has designed, illustrated and self-published her first collection of poetry. “My goal with the poems in this book is to spark hope and wonder in readers' hearts, reminding them of what makes life truly valuable and beautiful.” She promises that this will be the first of many publications to come.
Take Heaven With You is available at the Coalesce Bookstore in Morro Bay, CA, The Phoenix at Nepenthe in Big Sur, CA, The Bookshop Santa Cruz, in Santa Cruz, CA, and University Press Books in Berkeley, CA, and online at Amazon.com and Wordclay.com.
