Darby Love Alive Things Mum Said to Me Before She Died

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Poet Darby Hudson presents an expanded collection of his viral Instagram posts, in which he offers a deeply human glimpse into his mother's unique way of looking at the world, inspiring readers to find joy in every moment.

Darby, Love . . . is equal parts wonder, chaos, and humanity. It's a conversation between the living and the dead, mom and son, steeped in love, loss, and the quiet beauty of life's messiness. Born from a series of viral posts, author Darby Hudson's snapshot of his mother's unique mind is an inspiration to find wonder in even the most mundane moments in life. With thirty-eight new poems, this updated edition provides a more nuanced look into the world "of magic and dreams" to which his mother belonged.
