Single or not, most women could use a little more solitude than the world typically offers. Like many, Rebekah Iliff used to be hesitant to intentionally spend time alone. After the sudden loss of a close friend, she decided to go forward with their upcoming vacation alone, and found herself drinking a glass of wine solo in a spa, much to fellow patrons’ concern.

This experience later sparked the poem “Champagne for One,” a joyful reflection on intentional solitude, and bubbled into a namesake collection of poetry and essays.

Foreword Reviews says Champagne for One “turns myths about solitude on their head." It’s perfect as a gift to a friend or as a treat to your solitary self.

Rebekah is a writer and entrepreneur based in Nashville, Tennessee.
