PRAISE:
“Sarah Hirch‘s poems tell the truth; a truth that is both personal and universal, filled with love, loss, humor, sadness, and all the stuff of life in between. She speaks with a voice that is distinctly her own, and reading one of her poems feels like having an intimate conversation with an old friend. Whenever I read her work, I only wish there was more.”
–Ben Williams
“Thrive is an ode to family, loss, and love, through the lens of the seasons and everyday life. Sometimes humorous, sometimes earnest, the poetry always reveals surprising and poignant truths about relationships, self-discovery, and hope.”
–Molly Ellis
