Where Hope Comes From: Poems of Resilience, Healing and Light by Nikita GillExpected publication: February 18th 2021 by Orion Publishing Co
Instagram superstar and poet Nikita Gill returns to her roots with her most personal collection yet, including more than 20 poems exclusive to the US edition.
I took my worries out
and laid them carefully on the kitchen table.
Then began the slow but rewarding task
of fixing everything that needed more love.Nikita Gill shares a collection of poems crafted as the world went into lockdown, tackles themes such as mental health and loneliness, and the precariousness of hope. This collection includes the phenomenal “Love in the Time of Coronavirus,” which was shared across social media over 20,000 times, as well as Gill’s poems of strength and hope, “How to Be Strong” and “Silver Linings.” Where Hope Comes From is fully illustrated with beautiful line drawings by the author.
All because everything is forbidden now,
I want to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower
and sing at the top of my lungs.
I had no idea this book was coming out this year and especially not this soon so this was a happy surprise! After reading Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters and The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom and absolutely loving those books, Nikita Gill has become an insta-buy author of mine. Her poetry is timely, beautiful and I just love reading it so much. Also look how beautiful that cover is! ?
Um… I NEED this in my life. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I’ve not read any of Nikita Gill’s work yet but I have Fierce Fairytales and I’ve got my eye on Wild Embers so will definitely bump this new one up on my wishlist. It sound sooooooooo good!
Fierce Fairytales is one I still gotta buy but it’s been on my list. I need all her books!
I like the cover as well, and I sure hope you are gonna love the poems when you get the chance to put your hands on this book!
I know I will! 😀
Oh, wow, I think I need to try this. I’m becoming more open to verse, but poetry I find very intimidating.
Nikita Gill’s books are amazing, seriously!
This definitely sounds like something a lot of us need right now!
That’s for sure!
I’ve been getting into more poetry books lately, so thanks for highlighting this one. I’m not familiar with the poet, however. I’ll have to check their work out.
Ooh this does sound timely! I’m intrigued. I don’t read a lot of poetry but you have definitely tempted me with this one?
Ooo, very timely!
I will add this one to my tbr! I need to read more poetry.
This sounds so good! I don’t read much poetry but this has me intrigued! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I have one of her older collections on my TBR pile that I hope to get to this year. I will have to add this one to my wish list. It sounds wonderful. One of my goals this year is to read more poetry. I hope you love this collection when you read it!
Sounds really good and I hope you love it!
I like the sound of this (and neat cover too). I don’t read a lot of poetry but would like to read more, and this sounds so timely!
I haven’t historically been a huge reader of poetry, but this sounds intriguing. Thank you for sharing about it, and thanks for stopping by my CWW!
This does indeed sound timely and the cover is gorgeous! Added to my TBR and followed Nikita Gill on Instagram 🙂
This sounds wonderful! I will have to watch for it when it comes out.
I recently read poetry by Rupi Kaur, and it was awesome. Have heard Nikita Gill writes poetry on the same lines — so definitely look forward to this too.
This sounds wonderful, Stephanie! I hope it will live up to your expectations!
