Reviews

  • Little Miracles is a collection of poems that are, indeed, little miracles. In this book, in these small chronicles of the life of a poet, we encounter a voice who searches through the experiences of her life in order to find and assert her own identity. From childhood to confident womanhood, Little Miracles follows the narrative of a poet who invents herself through the power of her own story, and whose story reinforces and sustains the ways she becomes a confident and emotionally assertive individual.

    -Bruce Meyer, author of Grace of Falling Stars

  • Little Miracles is an ode to how we survive, how we “breathe in the way it feels to exist only for ourselves.” Mysteries like death and intimacy are broken up into little pieces, dusty under the bed or “hiding beneath the lilac bushes.” Victoria Butler recognizes the power at our fingertips, under our fingernails.
