Freed Bird: Dancing from Flower to Fruit

by Shavannah Angelique

Overview

Freed Bird: Dancing from Flower to Fruit is a journey told through poetry and prose, beginning in heartbreak and ending in a place of solace and love. Together we'll discover that we can accomplish peace if we turn our love inward. We find that when we fill ourselves with love, we will never experience heartbreak to such a devastating extent because love will never be lost again - as it is within us all, and will always remain. Each poem represents a point in the path from hurt to healing.

About the Author

Shavannah Angelique is a writer whose debut poetry collection, Freed Bird: Dancing from Flower to Fruit, begins a new chapter in her life, while making peace with another. She has always been studious and by the book, until one day her love of writing decided to discard the rules and make sense of the world in the only way she knew how -writing out all of the questions and finding her own answers along the way. When she is not diving into poems late into the night, she has recently graduated from college and works to support her two children, the freest birds she's ever seen.
