by Valerie June Hockett

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Wait. THAT Valerie June? The singer/songwriter? Her voice is heavenly. Her songs are beautiful. And, now, she presents us a book of poems. A most crush-worthy addition to your bookshelf.

A poetic call for mindfulness, creativity, and analog real-world connection in an increasingly disconnected world from singer-songwriter Valerie June.

Maps for the Modern Worldis a collection of poems and original illustrations about cultivating community, awareness, and harmony with our surroundings as we move fearlessly toward our dreams. 

I love you
Like a fall leaf dancing
And twirling in the wind
Softly landing,
Returning to the warm earth
Rest
Make new
Begin 
Again
-comfortably
