Loss echoes through the corridors of time, whispered from the pages of history, nature, and the heart in Portraits, a vivid and haunting collection of poetry by Lacey Jones. With a voice both intimate and timeless, Lacey weaves reflections on personal grief—of loved ones passed and of cherished moments that slip like shadows—alongside tragedies etched into history: the doomed lives of Henry VIII's wives, the sinking of ships, and the myths of goddesses like Persephone.

Each poem is a portrait, painted in rich imagery and emotion. With reverence for nature and a deep understanding of life's fragility, Lacey captures loss, loneliness, and love as universal touchstones.

For readers who find solace in introspection and appreciate poetry that is both visual and visceral, Portraits offers a quiet sanctuary.
