girlhood and other poems

"Girlhood is all the joys and miseries it brings, and yet, it is only the start". In this captivating debut, the young poet navigates the journey from the whimsical musings of childhood to the complex emotions of emerging adulthood, painting a vivid and multifaceted portrait of girlhood. She grapples with love and relationships in "Yesterday" and "To be the Poet", confronts death and mortality in "Death Visits me in my Childhood Bedroom" and "Icarus' Flight", and invites readers to witness her metamorphosis in "This is Birth" and "I am". With a voice both raw and refined, and a story both universal and deeply personal, Girlhood is a self-portrait and a mosaic of all the phases and emotions and identities from one of the most transformational periods of life.
