Before the Epiphany

by Alice Saunders

Epiphanies are meant to be shared, discussed and contemplated. From the most painful ones that squeeze that beating organ in our chest to the ones that cause us to cringe when face to face with the truth, they should be captured and memorialized. From the thoughts that keep us awake at night to the dreams that keep us wanting more sleep, they all deserve equal attention and appreciation. The poems in this book break down the elements that create such experiences. They transform these elements into the usable energy that fuels us. This energy is universal. It puts smiles on our faces, its pushes us into action, and it allows us to relive the sweetest moments of our past while eagerly looking forward to the future that awaits us.

Before the Epiphany is just that, the buildup, the moment before the breakthrough takes place. The poems inside this book reveal each pixel that creates the picture of an epiphany. Readers who are looking to be inspired, encouraged, and enlightened will be wise to join Saunders as she reveals the beauty in even the darkest moments of life.

About the author

Alice Saunders writes cozy mysteries with twisty plots, unforgettable heroines, and a slow-burn touch of romance. Her Cypress Hollow Mysteries series delivers heart, suspense, and Southern charm—with just enough scandal to keep you turning the page.

When she’s not plotting fictional murders, you can find her binge-watching detective shows, sipping peppermint tea, or chasing down story ideas in local bookstores.

Killer in the Hollow is her debut cozy mystery, and the first of many stories to come.

A journey

Saunders poems tell stories which appears to be spoken word in style. I picked this up out of curiosity and am glad I did. Thank you Alice for sharing a portion of a life and connecting it to a new present perspective. Her struggles remind me of my own. And her means of moving forward reminds me of my own epiphany. I look forward to reading more works of poetry by Saunders.
