Thanking Sheila Windsor

I would like to give special thanks today to UK poet Sheila Windsor for her warm recommendation of my book! I am honored and thrilled to read her wonderful comment on “In the Garden of Absence,” as well as her permission to include it here! In case you missed it, Sheila wrote:

“I cannot recommend ‘In the Garden of Absence‘ by Stella Pierides highly enough. A great Afterword too by Michael Dylan Welch. The book is entrancing.”

Thank you so much, Sheila!

(* The highlighting of titles and names was done by me!)

‘advent wreath’ #5 December 2012

NaHaiWriMo prompt: ornament(s)

Isn’t time passing quickly? Even the candle in my advent wreath burned down already. For those not familiar with this kind of wreath: it is a wreath that sits on the centre of the table (in this case my table) with four, in some cases five, candles; one for each of the weeks of advent. Each week one more candle is lit, until we reach Christmas! At this rate of burning however, there won’t be much to light on that last Sunday!

“Presence in Absence” is now online!

I am very pleased to let you know that the afterword to my book, written by poet and writer Michael Dylan Welch, titled “Presence in Absence,” is now online on Graceguts: Something authentic and delirious. It is a wonderful essay on haiku and the experience of appreciating and sharing the haiku moment by both writer and reader. I am honored that Michael contributed this  generous essay to my book “In the Garden of Absence.” Michael’s essay “Presence in Absence” can be read by clicking here
