Brene Brown said it best, "Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives." I don't know how I went from literally feeling like I'm flying high in the sky to being emotionally numb, but it's scary to think that part of you, that part that makes you feel human, has completely subsided. It's those rich emotions that make us feel most alive. The possibility of love, intimacy, friendship, adventure, and so much more. My poems touch on the dry areas of my life as well as the most memorable moments, and the things I've hoped for. This book is for those who have ever felt disconnected from the world, from themselves, or from pretty much anything, and just want to feel like a real person again.

Inspired by every day events, this book will lay out the trials and tribulations of someone living with mental illness; some themes include maintaining intimate relationships, ranging from romance to friendship, as well as what it means to just keep breathing.

""This book presents a compilation of poems inspired by Anika Munir's knowledge gained during her undergraduate studies in City Studies at UofT. Moreover, these poems delve into her personal experiences growing up in the city and her interactions with municipal infrastructure.By merging her passion for emotive expression through poetry with her affinity for urban development, Anika skillfully crafted a concise poetry book that explores parts of the city while delving into the emotional nuances, what these parts of the city mean and relationships embedded within these parts of the city. Additionally, she has spoken on the purpose and value of these parts in the city. She believes that the infrastructure and components shaping the city are more than just pieces of solid but places that hold emotions for individuals, and have a purpose and stories. She has tried her best to explain these parts of the city through her poems and this 21-Day poetry book challenge.""

These poems contain my deepest thoughts that are not easily expressed through conversation.

""Speaking your thoughts out loud is not something that comes natural to me. I clam up, my hands get sweaty, and anxiety kicks in real bad. This is where writing comes to play for me as a way to let loose those bottled up emotions that have been brewing inside me for years. I have a story to tell that may soon come in a written book but for now let's just listen through the words written in poetry. Some may glance and see a bunch of anger and depression, you're absolutely correct. I was skeptical of writing this book because I was afraid of how people would perceive it but then I realized there are over a trillion people in this world. What if half of them are going through what I've been through in life. Why not express my views and feelings in hopes it reaches someone who has endured the same trauma and helps them to see things differently. My poems are derived from being a single mother, to being molested, abused, and even losing two children due to gun violence the worst of them all. I'm sure a lot of you can relate and if not you definitely know of someone who can. This is what life is, this is living in your authentic self, this is not sugar coating a fantasy. Every poem was written with lots of pain, tears, and love. Again I have a story to tell and this is just the beginning.""

The shift from fear to love is the miracle of our lives!Have you been to yourselfin all of this noise?Are you living your dreams?Does your soul have a voice?When you close your eyes,what do you see?Where your heart meets your soul,who must you be?Will your why be your way?How will you tell your story?The path of discovery is to find and to be found by the poetry within.Cuoreosity is a poetic invitation to live into the questions. The questions that have no right to go away. The questions that deal with who we are becoming.The word for heart in Italian is "Cuore". The suffix, "osity", reflects "the quality of being."Cuoreosity is a journey into the heArt of our Being! The journey inwards. The journey to our soul.On the wings of these words, heart broken loose on the wind, soul ignited, may we come home to love.The door only opens from the inside!

John Dryden called Virgil's Georgics, written between 37 and 30 B.C.E., "the best poem by the best poet." The poem, newly translated by the poet and translator David Ferry, is one of the great songs, maybe the greatest we have, of human accomplishment in difficult--and beautiful--circumstances, and in the context of all we share in nature. The Georgics celebrates the crops, trees, and animals, and, above all, the human beings who care for them. It takes the form of teaching about this care: the tilling of fields, the tending of vines, the raising of the cattle and the bees. There's joy in the detail of Virgil's descriptions of work well done, and ecstatic joy in his praise of the very life of things, and passionate commiseration too, because of the vulnerability of men and all other creatures, with all they have to contend with: storms, and plagues, and wars, and all mischance.

Jamie Curtis Murphy died August 2nd, 2021 after taking opioids laced with fentanyl. Like thousands of other Americans who die from this epidemic each year, she was unaware of the fentanyl in the drugs. No one was brought to justice for her death.This book of poetry captures who she was in life. Most of the poems were written when she was between the ages of 12 and18. It was the age of discovery for Jamie - falling in love for the first time, becoming a teenager, and finding music and friends that resonated with her own emerging perspectives and beliefs. As a "military brat," Jamie was exposed to many cultures and diverse lifestyles. She was both fearless and loved everyone and lived a life of highs and lows with little in between. When she was happy, she was on cloud nine. And when she witnessed injustice, mean people, and the cruelties of the world, she internalized the pain. She was a talented artist and a National Library of Poetry award-winning poet; and yet, she was also someone who could not overcome her addictions even though she entered several treatment programs, had the support of her family and friends, and desperately wanted to win her battle against the scourge of drugs.I hope her poetry brings some joy, humor, or good memories to you. If you knew and loved Jamie, I hope her poetry brings good memories to you. If you are just meeting Jamie in these pages, my wish is that you take away some of the joy and good humor that she found in life.
