“Bloom” is a collection of forty poems about growth: growing up, growing stronger, growing old, and growing wise to the world in all of its good and bad. Told through storytelling, art, and photography, this book centers on the idea of flowers: how we wish to grow as peacefully and beautifully as they do, and the peace of mind we want for ourselves and the world.
A collection of thirty-five poems spanning over five years in the life of a 20-something girl. From first love to marriage to heartbreak, and everything in between, “Young” follows a journey of self-discovery across countries, years, and states of mind. These poems are a testament to what falling in love can feel like, how we grow and change, and how life doesn’t end at 25.
