Project Illuminae

Book Description:

Driven by my pen, to write and begin the journey with no end.

Poets are made, not born. The pain that a pen puts down on a sheet of paper is endured, but how much endurance can a human being show before they turn into a poet? This anthology is a collection of poems that the poet wrote in recent years of her life. They not only cover turmoil, the darkest thoughts, but also various mental health issues and social issues that a human being has to face in society. The collection is a saga of how from the darkest of times, we can still emerge, victor, if we have some ray of hope, some illuminating light. This is Project Illuminae.
