About the Book:

A spectrum of coming-of-age emotions flows through this anthology as the poetess tries to encapsulate the beauty of the little things in life.

The book's overall emphasis is on a quest for identity as the adolescent brain tries to navigate the vicissitudes and welcome pleasantries of adulthood. The message is as simple as it gets- life is meaningless without self-reflection, love, both unwonted and ecstatic experiences and most importantly allowing yourself to simply be and to forgive yourself.

Take a seat in this emotional ride with the hope to unwind and reflect. Rest assured you will find tiny, scattered pieces of you in most of these poems.
