Tender is the Light signed paperback
Tender is the Light: poetry through the seasons is out now! You can order through me here to get a signed copy, or get the standard paperback through Amazon.
A collection of poems and photographs to guide you mindfully and joyfully through the wheel of the year, starting with the very first green of spring and its vibrant, chaotic energy. Summer unfolds in a riot of colour and memory, from roasting crabs on a bonfire to falling in love for the first time in Florence, Italy. Autumn opens portals, while holding beauty in one hand and grief in the other. Winter delves deeper into dream and darkness, accompanied by ice and crunching leaves, and bare trees silhouetted against a low, slow sun.
Sensuous and embodied, this collection of words and images is the testimony of a sensitive being moving through the seasons of life, and a song of worship for the natural world.
Includes 63 poems and 31 full page colour photographs.

Praise for Tender is the Light
“Sarah and I are such kindred spirits, and this collection felt like opening a portal (or a mycelial connection) between my own inner life and the wild intelligence of the world.
With lush specificity of language, Tender is the Light moves through the turning year from spring (urgent, verdant) to winter (hungry, insistent), letting the complexity of life emerge the way green shoots rise, impossibly, through snow. These poems are spells of attention: rooted, sensuous, honest, and quietly ferocious.
Sarah’s words are punctuated with stunning photographs of paths through the woods, petals, frost, and light through branches; natural thresholds that guide the reader further into a living landscape.
There are blackbirds here, and blackberries, oaks and foxes; moss and mist, heather and woodsmoke, ravens cutting through the sky like omens, and the kind of quiet knowing that arrives when you stop forcing your life into lists and start letting it rewild you. This collection restored my faith in the beauty that surrounds me, and I finished it feeling steadier, softer, and more awake to what’s still possible.”
-Alix Klingenberg, author of Quietly Wild
