Poems of Pain and Power

Pain is not always a bad thing. If we didn't feel pain, we would not see the beauty of overcoming it. Light shines best in the darkness. This does not mean either is better than the other. It means they need each other to exist. In this highly anticipated poetry book, Shakkoi uses the pain of grief, anxiety, and anger to poetically narrate tragedy to triumph. This book also includes prompts and questions to help readers going through pain to see their power.
