What can we do to cope with losing someone, whether through death or heartbreak? Where can we draw on inspiration or comfort when we're at our lowest? How can we express ourselves in moments of difficulty? And what can we do to pay our privileges and blessings forward?

The Ripple Effect suggests the power of poetry as an answer to all of these questions. Author Indiana Rotondo's tight collection of sweet, free-verse, stylistically diverse poems includes odes to lost love and meditations on the joys of faith. Many of these poems are broad expressions of desire, gratitude, regret, and appreciation, making it both a compelling introduction to poetry as a genre and an inspiring and comforting collection to which anyone can relate. It is sure to inspire those who pick it up to follow what moves them, and to share in the joy that comes from pursuing their path with those around them. This is The Ripple Effect.
