A Renaissance of Self

A Renaissance of Self is a deeply personal debut poetry collection exploring identity, grief, faith, memory, and the slow, often painful process of becoming.Moving through four distinct chapters - The Hurricane Season, The Empty House, The Thawing & Gnawing, and The Velvet Hour - the poems trace a journey from emotional chaos to stillness, from isolation to renewal.These poems examine the moments that shape us: the wounds we carry, the expectations placed upon us, and the quiet resilience required to rebuild ourselves.In the final chapter, The Velvet Hour, the voice that once wandered through ruin begins to gather itself again - shaping a softer, intentional self from everything that came before.Both intimate and reflective, A Renaissance of Self is a meditation on survival, transformation, and the possibility of beginning again.
