Bettina C. Kraft

In this slender gathering of verse, Ani Corné reflects on love in its many guises- love that lingers in memory, love that arrives quietly in the later chapters of life, and love that lives only in dreams. Written in the elegant cadence of English, yet shaped by a soul fluent in more than one tongue, these poems carry the hush of longing, the hush of hope, and the quiet courage of the heart’s unspoken truths. From first heartbreak to late-blooming affection, Snowbird invites the reader to pause, to remember, and perhaps to believe once more in the enduring beauty of love.
