One Hundred Breaths Stephanie Shields

Stephanie Shields breathes life into her debut collection of one hundred, one hundred word stories, creating a book somewhere between poetry and a net cast to harvest the essence of life.

"forgotten

until next Spring

for it will come back

it won't be this blossom

but it will be blossom..."

Bare, true, and as beautiful as it is heartbreaking, one hundred breaths isn't so much a body of writing as a soul captured on paper.

one hundred breaths features hand-inked art by Ruby Lilith.
