the light can be something you love all on your own

In the light can be something you love all on your own, stephanie e glass writes from the raw center of lived experience. Her poems carry readers through rural Nebraska landscapes, where spiritual hauntings echo within each memory. Light serves as both metaphor and guide, illuminating a pathway from a life of mere survival to one radiant with joy textured by grief. Each poem is at once elegy and invocation, rooting the reader in liminal spaces that thrum with longing even as they blaze with technicolor optimism. With language that extends a hand—offering both consolation and strength—glass confronts what is broken while persistently reaching for what might still be made whole. This collection pulses with intimacy, defiance, and the power of giving voice to the unspoken conversations we carry within.
