About
Born in Vancouver, Denise has been writing in-between other priorities since her university days, when she studied English lit, psychology and art. She is still fascinated by history, art, human nature, and the power of words to move and inform.
Now she happily is able to dedicate more of her personal time to writing poetry and essays, and to producing books to share with those who are curious. Her essays are philosophical and succinct, sometimes light hearted, sometimes serious. Her poetry is layered but accessible, weaving themes of love, loss, and the solace of nature with her experiences of joy and finding meaning in life.
Available now at the Friesen bookstore
and on Amazon and Indigo.
It was a complete joy to share my personal challenges and learning experiences expressed in this collection of personal essays. It was entirely cathartic and healing to write. I hope it sparks some good conversations. I also learned something about publishing, and so hope to build on this foundation over the next few years.

Testimonials
heartbreakingly beautiful
Never have I received so much wisdom, love, hope and true spiritual enlightenment in such a small short but beautifully crafted and produced book. Denise Plimley encourages us all to give more than we ever have done or imagined possible and to enjoy the
ever lasting cycle of true love. - M.H.

a raw revealing journey
This book takes you through a raw revealing personal journey of love and acceptance. Through the untangling of family burdens and expectations. In the end, you come away with the recognition
of the importance of letting go and exhaling. - Ron
