Bright Star is the first book in the Twelve Poems to Inspire series, a range of gift books for festivals like Valentine’s and Mother’s Day, and life occasions, like bereavement or new beginnings. Bright Star celebrates Christmas, other births, and beginnings of all kinds.
These twelve poems celebrate hope and the returning of light, and encourage us to rejoice in the human capacity to begin again and start over.
In accessible, sometimes conversational, language the poet brings messages from the depth dimension, reassuring us that all is unfolding as it should.
Divided into four sections: Rebirth, Renew, Reconnect, and Rejoice, each poem is chosen and arranged by the poet, and beautifully illustrated with a relevant picture from a contemporary photographer or artist. It is a collection that explores what it truly means to live an inspired life, attuned to all its aspects.
Experience the wonder of rebirth and starting over, through the powerful pleasure of inspirational poetry.
A beautiful gift for Christmas, or for anyone beginning anew.
This is such a stunning book. It welcomes you in with its thoughtful cover and then you are carried through the pensive pieces with the lovely artwork that joins the pieces. With each, the art creates a very thoughtful journey, working on mindfulness and the expansion into a fresh start. Whether you are starting anew with a completely new journey in life, you are moving on to a new stage in life or you are just waking with a new and refreshed journey each starting day, this book provides a thoughtful and inspiring way to travel that journey. It can easily be enjoyed many times, allowing you to stop and take stock of life and what it means in that moment. I thoroughly enjoyed this complication and the beauty it provided, in many ways. It is a great gift to someone or to yourself.
I was so pleased to be offered the chance to review this beautiful collection of 12 poems by Orna Ross I found another of her books, Circle of Life, so uplifting. I wasn’t disappointed, Bright Star is another set of poems designed to get you thinking about new beginnings, Christmas and births. I love the way that Orna divides her book into four sections, rebirth, reconnect, renew and rejoice with three beautiful and thought provoking poems in each section.
The AI “Dream” illustrations add depth to the poems and are intriguing in the fact that AI has created the illustrations from the lines of the poems. I especially like the illustration for soaring and they really do support the poem and enable your imagination to create a picture of what you are reading.
As a musician I found myself creating melodies to some of the poems which I found enlightening and fun, especially Mid-Winter Benediction.
Orna has yet again given me hours of pleasure with her poetry and the books make lovely gifts for poetry lovers.

We have 12 beautiful poems about Births and Beginnings. A poem for the 12 days of Christmas. The book is set out in four sections- Rebirth, Reconnect, Renew and Rejoice. Each poem has an illustrations and a blank page, (which I found myself writing how the poem made me feel). I read these poems in one sitting, but Soaring was one of the poems I’ve went back to a few more times. This would make a lovely gift, especially those that love poetry.

Another beautifully written book by Orna! I love her poems! They are heartfelt, meaningful and written with love! Christmas is always a colourful time, whether it’s because of family or the surrounding lights/candles etc. These poems make you think of Christmas as a coming together. A united front, a way to express your feelings. I like the different chapter headings and how each poem flows into the next. This is book 1 and I’m excited for the rest in the series!
The poems are definitely inspirational and they give you a warm feeling reading them.
I cannot say I have a favourite as they all have meaning. If I did have to choose a favourite from this book, it would probably be “Soaring” as it’s about christmas and the lights and preparing for the upcoming events. I look forward to more from Orna, I have read Circle of Life and that was another good read. I also loved the pictures in this book, would love to see them in colour!
