Black Butterfly: A Poetry Collection
$30.00
Morning
It is once again morning
But this dawning, it is different
No planned agenda, no appointments,
No particular place to be
Without intent –
She has exhausted herself
Forgotten herself in caring for others
But today
She reminds herself
That she is important too
So she steps away from being needed
Takes a much-needed sabbatical from the craziness that life can bring
She is not the woman waiting to be rescued
She is the woman
Seeking to be
Relieved
Renewed
Restored

Black Butterfly is a beautiful tapestry of poetry woven together for its reader to visualize growing up in a small town, surrounded by family and love. Like a butterfly, Tonita takes her reader on a journey of youth, growth, love, loss and rebirth. This poetry collection is a must-read.

Author and poet Tonita Few’s new book “Black Butterfly”is as much an homage to growing up in the small-town of Spring Hope, North Carolina, as it is about transformation, metamorphosis, and rebirth. Her prose is lyrical and yet truth-telling, joyous and poignant. A beautiful collection of stories that captures the meaningful uniqueness of life as a journey, “Black Butterfly” gives voice to vignettes of birth, death, struggle, resilience, survival, and above all the beauty of becoming.

Black Butterfly is a great collaboration of poems and short stories that symbolize a transformation through hardship, love, strength, and self-awareness. This book is filled with inspiration and freedom that symbolizes the metamorphosis of the butterfly.
