    About this ebook

    A break from your daily struggles is only a verse away…

    Poet Orna Ross knows the power of words. As an award-winning author and one of the 100 most influential people in publishing (The Bookseller), Ross's passion is the power of poetry and prose to change lives. 

    Through the Irish-born and globally-traveled poet's centering and inspiring verse, the ordinary is transformed into the eternal; loneliness is reshaped into connection; and pain into understanding.

    Keepers is a collection of stirringly crafted inspirational poetry. 

    It celebrates and explores both the immense and the seemingly insignificant. From soaring imagery to comforting Irish blessings, this collection of poems sweeps the reader into a world of peace and tranquility. Ross's words brim with a worshipful appreciation of life itself. 

    If you like rich emotions, uplifting cadences, and brushes with the infinite, then you'll love Orna Ross's achingly beautiful work. 

    Buy Keepers to renew your spirit today!  
     

    "Ross' verse is technically brilliant, emotionally beguiling and, at times, startling."

    ~ Poetry Editor, The View From Here Literary Magazine

    "Orna's poetry reaches into the corners of your soul and pulls out all that is beautiful."
