R. Clift
What starlings Are Singing
“R.Clift is truly someone special. And you see that in this book, from the first page. Her idea of evolved poetry, matching her poetry with artistic photography, is so magical. After reading a piece, I often found myself looking at the partnered image in detail and seeing every little thing and emotion that connected them both. It’s a deep experience that really enhances her words.
My chest actually tightened and felt full with her words, my heart broke and reformed. R.Clift details a love and a girl in this book that is wondrous, beautiful, and gentle. Distant, lost, and full of stars. A dream and a vivid reality. Holding this book honestly felt like holding a beating heart.”

“The words, the photography I love these elements that express how the author feels and that it makes me feel something indescribable but in a good way. Beautiful book and love the way that it is written! Definitely going to read more from her!”
— Syarafina / goodreads review
“For years I’ve been so inspired by Rachel Clift and her openness and vulnerability in her art. I’ve finally bought one of her books, and I catch myself tearing up just 20 pages in, and full-on crying by page 41. If you haven’t, please consider following and supporting her work. These poems touch my heart in so many ways, and I know each of my friends would love them.”
