Intimate Poetry: THE SPRING COLLECTION

Two Photographs From The Inside of UN Head Quarters Intimate Prayer Room. One of the soothing warm light and prayer chairs and one of the royal blue stained window.

This collection features Enchantée, the Seduction poem that narrates the art of courting and blooming of romantic love. The Elegy poem, I mourn the curls that could've been, takes an intimate approach to the pain of internalized western beauty standards and anti-blackness. Playing with the natural elements, environmental anxiety and science fiction, A Nation of Zombies, River of Gluttony provides a thought-provoking ring of protest needed for today's problems.
