Author Description

Dead in the Heart is a collection of poetic writings that traverse a landscape of emotions and perspectives which bear fruit in the uncertain years in young adulthood. This collection of writings spans multiple years, from 1987 to 1994, and emerged as the author begins a journey into artistic life where introspection and vulnerability are often one shade of color apart. The themes and topics expressed are familiar; self-doubt, social stigma, aging, imposter syndrome, and coming of age in the era of AIDS. "Overall, it's an absorbing poetry collection -- one that gives you a lot to think about. If you're a poetry lover, I highly recommend you grab a copy!" - Reviewed by Pikasho Deka, for Readers' Favorite (5 Stars)
