Perennials

"Perennials" is a debut poetry collection that begins as an exploration of heartache and continues through the seasons of healing, rebuilding, and finding joy through new and emerging identities.

Through a transformational journey of being uprooted, Perennials shows us what can bloom when we allow ourselves the opportunity to grow anew. Stunningly honest and evocative in its exploration of relationships, motherhood, and queerness, this collection serves as a reminder that sometimes the most vivid colors come from charred earth.

Dylah Ray is a queer poet and the owner of Petals & Pages, an independent bookstore in Denver, Colorado. Ray holds a BA from the University of Denver and an MA from Columbia University. Perennials is her first book
