Bestselling poet and author Cleo Wade has a new book aimed at readers who want a daily touchstone for resilience and renewal. In a recent ABC News interview, Wade introduced In a World of Sunrises, a collection of 365 short pieces of poetry and prose designed to be read one per day. The entries center on themes of hope, healing and fresh starts, presenting a yearlong practice of reflection and encouragement.
Wade described the work as intentionally bite-sized — brief passages that can be dipped into each morning or at any moment a reader needs grounding. The format mirrors a growing appetite for daily rituals that combine literary craft with personal care: rather than a single long narrative, the book offers a steady cadence of prompts and meditative lines meant to accumulate meaning over time. The pieces range in tone from tender affirmations to frank reckonings, with the throughline of compassion for oneself and others.
Known for blending poetry with practical wisdom, Wade framed In a World of Sunrises as a response to what she and many readers have experienced in recent years. While she did not pinpoint a single inspiration in the ABC segment, she emphasized the book’s purpose: to create small opportunities for people to begin again, to find solace, and to practice hope in everyday life. The collection’s daily structure makes it adaptable for readers who want a quick moment of reflection or a longer engagement when a passage resonates.
Publishers and observers have noted a steady market for books that fuse literary sensibility with wellness practices, from daily devotionals to short-form mindfulness guides. Wade’s new collection fits squarely within that trend while leaning on her established voice as a poet who speaks directly to contemporary concerns. For longtime fans, the book promises familiar warmth and accessibility; for newcomers, it offers a nonintimidating entry point into poetry as a tool for emotional support.
During the ABC interview Wade also discussed how small rituals and communal care are central to her approach to writing and public life. Though the program segment focused primarily on the new book’s structure and themes, she positioned the work as both intimate and communal — something an individual can carry privately while also sharing with friends, family or reading groups who want collective moments of reflection.
In a World of Sunrises is being positioned as a companion for the year ahead, intended to be read sequentially or opened at random depending on a reader’s needs. The book is now available through major booksellers and online retailers, offering what Wade framed in the interview as an invitation: a simple daily practice to return to hope, to heal and to begin again.
