POETRY
“Stafford Wood’s poetry moves with the emotional grace of Mary Oliver, the introspective weight of Louise Glück, and the resilient spirit of Maya Angelou. Her verses breathe life into sorrow, navigating pain not as an endpoint, but as a passage toward transformation. She invites the reader into a world where healing is possible—where fire doesn’t only burn, it illuminates. Wood’s work feels personal, but never closed; tender, but never timid. Hers is a voice that quietly insists on hope—one that lingers long after the poem ends.”
