The strength in our scars is Bianca Sparacino's reminder to you: No matter what you're going through, no matter where you are on your healing journey-you are strong. Through poetry, prose, and the compassionate encouragement you would expect from someone who knows exactly what you're working through, Sparacino is here with the words you need. The strength in our scars tackles the gut-wrenching but relatable experiences of moving on, self-love, and ultimately learning to heal. In this book you will find peace, you will find a rock, you will find understanding, and you will find hope. Remember: Whatever is dark within you has also carved light into your soul. Whatever is lost within you has also brought you back home to yourself. Whatever is hurt within you is also healing you in ways you may not understand at that moment in time. This book hopes to show you that.

"'Land's End' promises to be the crowning achievement of this master of the descriptive-meditative narrative poem. Here Gail Mazur powerfully evokes the past, while still writing from the firm ground of the present.

Throughout the New Poems section, Mazur continues to write with the kind of lyric authority, emotional range, and intellectual and social scope that we have come to expect from her award-winning poetry, and this new and selected volume offers Mazur's very best poems from her seven previous books"--.
