Skyborn

Skyborn — by Liam Reid In Skyborn, Liam Reid charts the fragile weather systems of love, loss, and devotion with language as luminous as lightning and as patient as rain. Each poem rises from the same elemental landscape — a world where grief hums in the air, where memory takes the shape of wind, where tenderness stands like a breakwater against the sea's endless return. Across these pages, storms are never just storms: they are prayers, elegies, confessions, and quiet acts of endurance. Reid's voice — reverent, unflinching, and precise — carries the reader through thunder and silence alike. His imagery merges the celestial and the human, turning the sky itself into a mirror for longing and resilience. From the thunderless grief of Ode to a Thunderless Sky to the mythic devotion of Zeus and the digital elegy of The Junk Folder in the Sky, this collection forms a continuous symphony of atmosphere and emotion. It is both intimate and immense — a map of what remains when love has broken, and the heart still listens for its echo in the clouds. Skyborn is a book of reverence and ruin — a testament to the way beauty endures after the storm, and the sky, even when torn open, still hums with light.
