“Butterflies Anthology” is Finally Here!
The Butterflies Anthology 2025 invites you into a world, crafted by the unique perspectives of over thirty writers who have been inspired by butterflies and moths.
 
Butterflies become lenses through which we explore the very essence of change, the quiet strength found in fragility, and the poignant beauty of fleeting moments. Journey through poems that capture the shimmer of a monarch’s flight, stories that trace the silent metamorphosis within a chrysalis, and reflections that find echoes of our own lives in the dance of wings.
 
Prepare to be drawn into a collection that celebrates the profound and often surprising ways these winged wonders touch our hearts and ignite our imaginations. Open these pages and let the stories take flight.
