Only Light Makes Shadows: Traversing Duality

Only Light Makes Shadows: Traversing Duality is an intimate invitation into the author's personal journals spanning middle school through to present day. This collection of confessional poetry emotes on themes of love and loss, relational abuse and the pitiful hollows of grief which linger long after deception, betrayal and abandonment. In a twist of perspective, however, the author uses her keen spiritual sense to cast her light through the darkness, understanding the soul's call to evolve and use polarity as a mirror for raw and fearless self-awakening. Along with honest emotionality, these poems swim through the dichotomous depth within the nature of reality, creatively playing with philisophical ideas, expressing alignment with universal love and truth, and exploring a fascination with life's synchrony and ultimate perfection. Relatable to the sensitive and idealistic soul duped by the facades of fake love and panged with its echoes, or to those deeply connected to their own felt sense, the author invites you into her personal world and calls you to meet your own well of humanity there.
