Flying Poets & Other Storytellers by F. L. Ying is a collaboration of six different authors who come together to explore the universal themes of grief, love, and loss and, ultimately, hope. In my current state, the vignettes on grief and loss resonated the loudest, but the various authors seem to suggest that while grief will continue to have a hold on us as we journey through life, there is lightness to be discovered somewhere along the way. Though each of these authors comes to this collaboration with their own unique perspective, the blending of voices is, to my mind, a resounding success in the perfect harmony that is achieved. 3.5 stars
