MANUEL

MANUEL is a poetry collection that I intend to publish.

I have been writing poetry since middle school, and as an artistic medium that really connected with me, I began collecting many of my poems in high school and formulated the idea for an initial poetry collection titled MANUEL.

While the project has changed many times up until now, I recently completed an initial manuscript for the book. It is largely a collection about myself and life experience thus far, covering ideas of identity, family history, mental health, faith, loss and grief, and the emotional catharsis of letting go of pain and grief.

My work on the project now involves preparing the manuscript for the publication process. This means sharing the manuscript and collecting feedback and reactions to my poetry, as well as dedicated hours for editing and polishing existing poems and the integration of new ones that I'm working on.

The images include some title pages for both the work and individual sections, as well as a couple selections; specifically the introduction and a prelude poem. Please also follow the "Selections" link to read the full second section of MANUEL!
