Milk & Honey is a rich and fearless tapestry of light and shadow, myth and memory, tenderness and truth. Drawing on everything from ancient Greek mythology to the quiet comfort of a sleeping cat, Steel weaves an eclectic blend of poems that move effortlessly between the personal and the universal. Whether she is confronting grief, celebrating chosen family, raging against greed, or simply marveling at a winter morning, her voice is always intimate, always honest, and utterly her own. This is poetry for anyone who has ever searched for beauty in difficult places — and found it.

Love arrives like a whisper in the dark—soft, electric, and impossible to ignore. In these pages, hearts open with trembling hope, discovering the kind of passion that rewrites destinies and makes ordinary moments sacred. But love is a fragile flame, and even the brightest fire can falter when shadows creep too close. As devotion turns to distance and longing lingers in the silence left behind, each poem traces the exquisite ache of holding on and letting go. This is a journey through the beauty of surrendering to love—and the haunting echo it leaves when it slips through your fingers.
