“Solstice is a collection of poems that explores the themes of introspection, reflection, and transformation. The author, Tanya Montpetit, shares her journey of healing from cancer and finding hope and joy in life. The poems are honest, raw, and inspiring, and they touch on various aspects of the human experience, such as love, loss, grief, gratitude, faith, and resilience. The book is divided into four sections, corresponding to the seasons of the year and the stages of the author’s journey. The poems are written in a simple and accessible style, with vivid imagery and metaphors. Some of the poems are more powerful and memorable than others, but overall, the book is a beautiful and uplifting read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry, especially those who are going through a difficult time or looking for some inspiration. Solstice is a testament to the power of poetry and the strength of the human spirit.”

“To be present in these pages is to experience what it means to let go and know that you are being held by something so much bigger than yourself. It is to stand tall in your truth and to know that the quiet whisper deep within is always on your side. It is to be brave, to be honest, to be gentle.”

“Literature holds the power to heal us. We often come across heroic and courageous tales of people that serve to inspire us to try harder in this race called life. And poetry, which has been considered to be the highest form of literature for ages has been an important tool in the promulgation of hope and inspiring change in us. And it is in this context that I mention the collection ‘Solstice’ by Tanya Montpetit. The author is nothing short of a warrior and it is during her battle with cancer that this work was born. The poems record her moments of introspection and her journey towards healing and transforming, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as well.”
