otherwise

by sarah haliwell


this is a collection of poems and stories which explore the strange, delicate shorelines where people meet, where human and divine negotiate, and where self dissolves into memory.

80 pages long
hand-crafted chapbook

she was a small town girl
with roses on her dresses and her table

she had an appalachian soul

he never knew it
seeing only roses
and something small

~ from "folk tales"

some kind things people have said about sarah's writing:

"cool & creepy"

"absolutely stunning, heartwarming"

"incredibly beautiful & moving"

"your writing always leaves me speechless ... breathless ... these are amazing."

"wow, it's more powerful than a whole YA fiction book"

"simply gorgeous"

"otherwise is one of the most beautifully written books I've read in a long time, and beyond that, it's one of the most interesting. Poetry books are rarely page turners. This one definitely is. I couldn't put it down. You know, some people can write. Some writers are craftspeople of the written word. Some take it to another level and become spiritual masters of the craft of writing. Sarah Haliwell is such a person."
