Blurb
These are impeccably-crafted poems brimming with wit, intelligence, and verve. Seraphs and fruitbats -not to mention the kindness of the sliced banana -are some of the delights present in Wonders at the Corner. Suzanne Collins s debut collection simply bedazzles. Collins finds inspiration, and the opportunity for existential musing, in unlikely places: the waiting room of a car repair shop, say, or as a patient in a dentist s chair. In fact, unexpectedness is the collection s greatest strength -and that quality is as evident in Collins s crisp phrasing as it is in her penchant for looking at life from an offbeat angle. It makes for a witty, disarming debut (Barbara Carey, Toronto Star)

Thousand Heartbeats
Shares the seed's lyrical, emotion-forward voice, but trades offbeat poems for a plot-driven royal enemies-to-lovers arc with war and forced marriage.
La elegida
Keeps the seed's clean, no-heat register while swapping quiet observation for palace intrigue, a love triangle, and higher-stakes danger.
No hay verano sin ti
Like the poems, it finds meaning in small ordinary moments, though here grief and first love drive a much sadder, more emotional story.
L'Eté devant nous
Offers the same attention to fleeting everyday detail, but slower and more romantic, centered on longing between two brothers and one girl.
