Author Description

Every poetry book seems to be about love, don't you think? It makes sense, it's a gorgeously complex subject matter that varies from writer to writer and reader to reader, but, I'm bored of reading about love, so perhaps you are too? I welcome you to give Gin and Juice Boxes a shot. This book is about a little girl who acts like a grown woman, and each poem and short story is littered with themes of self-discovery and finding beauty within childhood heartbreaks and growing pains. This book contains poetry and prose that details the life of a little girl who always felt like an outcast because of her undeniable call and ambition to write. The only romance dancing through the pages of Gin and Juice Boxes is the love for the written word, and the love for one's self. If you've ever felt like an outcast, if you've ever not known who you are or where you stand in the world, then this book is for you. If you love to read beautiful writing from young authors, or if you're in the mood to laugh or to cry, then you should read this book. Or maybe you just don't want to read another poetry book about the same themes you've read last week, whatever your situation is, wherever you are, or whoever you are, Gin and Juice Boxes welcomes you. I, Kate Ayers, the author of this book, welcome you to enjoy reading my stories and my poetry as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
