ISBN 978-1-909404-22-9. Pamphlet, collection 32 pages.

A selection of Wendy Stern’s poetry. Completely bedridden by a debilitating illness, Wendy compiled her poems without the capacity to look at text or use a pen — dictating them and editing aurally. Two were commended in the Poetry Space Competition 2015.

To encounter Wendy Stern’s poetry is to experience a heightened sense of an existence both fleeting and sacred. Her poems offer starkly profound meanings, rooted in pain but flowering in the sublime. These words can change lives. They did mine.

Jason Barber, Editor, Buddhist Poetry Review
