Pure Poetry

Pure is a poetic memoir I released in 2020, and it remains one of my most cherished creations. Writing it felt less like organizing poems and more like pouring my heart and soul onto the page. This collection explores a tapestry of human experiences – from the awe-inspiring beauty of nature to the profound challenges of navigating hardships such as grief and overcoming adversity.

Within its seven chapters, each comprised of seven poignant poems and a bonus chapter, you'll encounter a spectrum of emotions: the exhilaration of love, the pain of abuse, the struggle with illness, and the unwavering determination to find strength within oneself.

I believe that our stories, both triumphs and tribulations, have the power to connect us and inspire others. I hope my vulnerability and the transparency of my voice in 'Pure' will encourage you to embark on your journey of self-discovery and share your unique voice with the world.

Discover the transformative power of vulnerability in 'Pure.'"

Now I would like to use this moment to introduce the poetry corner! Another segment on NH Scribes. There you can read some of my poetry and engage with comments of reflection, feedback, and suggestions. Go hang out in the poetry corner and if you would like to submit a poem to be published on this site there are instructions for that as well.
