Wendy’s poems are infused with such vulnerability that commands you to sit, be present and listen to her grief and in it see your own, there is no judgement here.

Deborah Johnson, Poet

About the book

Grief's First Kiss Is An Avalanche is a tender reckoning with the weight of loss and the quiet resilience that follows. Its sharp imagery and measured lyricism lead readers into the raw terrain of grief, where the ache of what's been lost collides with the fragile hope of what remains.

 

Each poem feels like stepping into a memory still warm with its shadows, exploring the different faces of grief in human existence. The collection is as much about what falls apart as it is about what blooms in the aftermath, reminding us that even avalanches, in their destruction, shape new landscapes.

 

This is not just a book about loss; it is about the courage to carry its weight and rise above it. It is a love letter to the human spirit's ability to transform heartbreak into something achingly beautiful.
