The Last Poem

In **The Last Poem** by **Courtney Peppernell**, a celebrated poet turns to fiction with a tender, emotionally sharp **contemporary romance** about grief, community and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

Wren Paisley appears to have everything: literary success, a beloved New York home, and a wedding on the horizon. When a sudden tragedy shatters her life and draws unwelcome attention, she drives until she can’t run anymore—landing in Everston, Colorado, a small town with a library that hosts a grief group centred on poetry. There, Wren finds unexpected kinship with a grieving librarian, a young woman rebuilding after an accident, and a reporter who unsettles her in the best way.

Perfect for readers who love **small-town fiction**, **queer love stories**, and character-driven novels about **healing after loss**.

Add it to your basket if you’re ready for a heartfelt story that lingers like a favourite line of verse.
