Sun Compass

by Brigette DePape

Poetry     Paperback

In this debut collection of poetry, sparse text resonates and creates an impactful presence as the poet unpacks past trauma. Divided into four parts, this essential collection delves into the magic of resilience in finding one’s way through past pains. The poet’s words harness both shadow and light, the contrast creating new directions and perspectives.

– Carmen Aguirre

“With skill and a keen awareness, Brigette DePape mingles reflections on intimate relationships with natural and botanical imagery. This collection foregrounds a deeply personal sense of growth and evolution.”

– Rebecca Geleyn

“A cup of tea, bicycle rides, super moons, prairie crocuses — Brigette’s open-hearted poetry sketches out a path home.”

– Kathryn Gwun-Yeen Lennon
