And so my first book was born... by Stephanie Rachel Seely

Posted on February 07, 2009

Hello my RedBubble friends,

I am super excited right now – I’ve just released my first book of poems!

Heaven’s Champagne

ISBN: 978-0-9810838-0-3
532 pages
Published by S. R. Seely Books

I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time. This book contains 4.5 years of writing and has been a daily project for the past 18 months. Needless to say, I am very happy and very proud! :)

Thank you to everyone who has left kind comments on my poems, and thank you to all those who support my creativity. It means so much and keeps me going when I doubt myself.

To read poems from the book, visit here

Heaven’s Champagne is available from Amazon.com

P.S. Some of you may recognize the cover as a Cadence Gamache photograph. Check her out. She’s super talented! She even gave her time to write the foreword :) Bless you Cadence!

Update: A lot of people have asked me what the title means. So here is the answer – I wrote this poem about autumn leaves falling in the rain, and I gave it the title “Heaven’s Champagne”. To me, the term “Heaven’s Champagne” glorifies how I feel when I’m out in the rain, and since rain and autumn were such predominant topics during that period of my life (both as writing topics and for their spiritual significance), it seemed only fitting to give the book the same title.
