On The Way Home: A Collection of Poems
Purchase options and add-ons
"On The Way Home” is a collection of poems selected from the notebooks of Olivia Gwyn between the ages of 18 and 22. It follows her reckoning with losses, loves, childhood, the passage of time, the meaning of home, faith, suffering and a constant search for the Light, relentlessly breaking through.
She hopes to give voice to the feelings we all feel, but fail to talk about, the ones that feel too tender to put into words. She hopes for the reader to find hope in her words, to remember they are not alone.

Beautiful!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 202170 pages of love, loss, growing up, passing time, faith, and the search of light.
I adore poetry, and loved how this felt like a stream of consciousness. It felt like a breath in and out with a style similar to Morgan Harper Nichols and Rupi Kaur.
Poetry resonates so deeply with me, and I am thankful that others have a capacity to share the experience of life this way.

Unbelievable
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021This is honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Olivia has a gift for writing and it felt like she was giving voice to my emotions that I don’t know how to express. Cannot recommend enough.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2022Olivia has a beautiful gift with words. She somehow evokes feelings I didn't even know I felt. She has a talent for living in other peoples' heads and describing experiences. 100/100. Always going to recommend it.
