Hey guys! I have some exciting news, I just published my second poetry book! It’s called “Love & Loss” and I’m so incredibly proud of this book.
“This raw collection of poetry dives into the point of view of the angry woman as she heals her way through life. Before sadness and acceptance, comes anger. Anger is something Lexi knows all too well but often in her life, her anger was never validated. It was something she wasn’t allowed to show to the world. Her anger was excused as theatrical dramatics. That anger eventually blooms into acceptance. After acceptance comes Peace and with that newfound Peace comes finally moving on and finding love in loss. “Love & Loss” is that journey.”
2022 has been a very transformation and emotional year for me, this year really knocked me on my ass to put it lightly. The one thing that’s been helping through everything has been poetry. I found myself writing more and more poetry to balance out my feelings. I noticed in majority of my pieces there was an underlying tone of anger for the loses I’ve been dealing with. Anger has been something that I’ve struggled with throughout my whole life, accepting it and just trying to process it. I was never good at it until recently, I still struggle at times but I’ve learned that anger needs to be felt when you feel it. Not at a later time when it’s deemed convenient. That’s a very present concept in our world today, feminine anger is never allowed to just be felt. It’s always turned into something greater when that’s not necessary. Our anger is always chalked up to us overreacting, our anger is never validated. I’ve spent this year processing my anger in a way that has been helpful to me. I also discovered in that anger and loss there is a lot of love. Love and Anger are such opposites but they coincide with each other on every level. So for every ounce of anger I felt this year, there was an equal amount of love that I felt whether that love was for my friends, family or with my current relationship. And for every loss that affected me so greatly only meant that previously there was a lot of love.
This poetry book contains some of my strongest work and most vulnerable pieces, writing this book has honestly saved me. I hope that this book can help others as they go through the trials and errors of finding love while also going through the hardships of loss. I really appreciate and love everyone that takes the time to read this book.
Here’s the link, I hope you guys enjoy it just as much as I did writing it!
