Verse from the Village

Description

This poetry collection was born after years of keeping my poems hidden, though writing has always been an inseparable part of who I am. I never truly had the choice not to write, it has always felt like both a calling and a necessity. These poems demanded to be seen, to live outside of me, and I could no longer deny them the light. My father once challenged me to put a book together, perhaps not as a dare, but as the gentle push I needed to finally embrace what I’ve always been: a writer, a poet, a dreamer, an illusionist of words, a truth-teller of my own being. Within these pages, I share stories that do more than reveal the fine lines of emotion, they search for meaning, connection, and self.
