    About this ebook

    The poems in Hold Them Close express the joys and hardships of life in its breadth, from the sacred story of Christian spirituality, to the profanity of injustice; through the isolation of the poet and PhD student's life and the deep connections to family, friends, community, and creation. In her third collection of poetry, Sarah Agnew continues to give voice to vulnerability, and thereby seek strength.

      Perchance

      when my own voice falters

      For she has been a benefactor to many

      if one falls in the Forest of Dreams

      her heart’s not in it

      Resignation.

      Observing the trees: Autumn

      a prophet's homecoming

      chase the wild goose

      I am ready

      carried: home
