Whisperings of the Wild and Wilting

Buried in this book is a twenty something year old woman stuck between who she is and who she’s aching to become. The poet’s evolution unfolds in front of the reader’s eyes and makes for a beautiful story about the journey to womanhood. It becomes a story about learning to harness your power, overcoming trauma, and manifesting your dreams. The book itself was written over a ten-year period and explores the nuances of our daily life; identity, love, dreams, mental health, family, sisterhood, and growing up. As the poet’s voice develops she brings clarity to the mundane parts of life, those parts which have immense impacts on who we become and yet we often overlook. The words give comfort, that we are all dynamic and that we all have the ability to step into our most authentic selves. It includes life lessons that the reader will certainly want to revisit as they embark on their own journey of self-love. “i planted the seeds of an internal revolution and resolved myself to blooming lavishly. i am Becoming.”
