Poppies Grow in the Wilderness

Izabela Bran
Betrayed by the two people she believed she could trust above all others, a woman feels alone, desperate, like she has nowhere to turn. But it’s only by owing to her feelings of grief and confusion that she finds acceptance and finally self-love. 

In this stunning collection of poems, Izabela Bran allows the reader to see into her very heart and soul, laying bare emotions usually hidden deep, challenging the reader while offering comfort at the same time. An accomplished and beautiful debut, Poppies Grow in the Wilderness follows a journey, sometimes brutal, often poignant, through heartbreak, betrayal and despair, to acceptance, enlightenment and truth. For only when we are forced to examine our past can we find our true self, and realize that we love that self. 

Whether you’re suffering in silence, have experienced grief, want to find who you truly are, or simply love evocative and spellbinding poetry, Poppies Grow in the Wilderness will captivate you and leave you wanting more.
