Chasing Fireflies is a heartfelt journey through memory and time. Peter Sheardy captures the beauty of childhood, the ache of loss, and the joy of love with a lyrical voice that feels both personal and universal. Each poem feels like a snapshot, some warm, some haunting, all deeply human. A beautiful collection worth revisiting again and again.

Some poems hit me harder than others, but that’s the beauty of this book. It’s like sitting on a porch with an old friend, sharing stories that make you laugh one minute and tear up the next. Honest and nostalgic.

Sheardy has a gift for turning simple memories into poetry that lingers. I especially loved the pieces about childhood summers and the way he ties fireflies to fleeting moments in life. Short, powerful, and heartfelt.. this collection glows.
