A Canvas of Stars
by Brianna da Silva

Leaving your childhood faith can be a harrowing journey that brings freedom, but also pain. This short book of poetry tells the story of a young woman who realized she was bisexual, and began to question all she knew. Told in four chapters, using the language of myth and fantastical metaphor, it paints an intimate picture of her evolution from innocence and suppression, to horror and liberation, to trauma and loneliness, and finally, to healing and purpose.

I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
