“Lush, inviting, and blooming with hope. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to take a moment for yourself, Lovely Seeds is that excuse. Swaney’s words on empathy and kindness are a much needed reminder, not just in today’s hectic world, but in tomorrow’s too.”–Trista Mateer, author of Honeybee

“R. H. Swaney is a vulnerable yet strong voice that will stand out from the masses.”—Alicia Cook, author of I Hope My Voice Doesn’t Skip

“In a time of loudspeak and untruths, Swaney’s poetry softly affirms what we all need to hear from someone, somewhere—that we are loved.”—Bradley Hathaway, musician, author, and spoken word artist
