Lacuna (Voices Collection)

Life is hard. For teenagers, many of life's difficulties arise from the tumultuous transition between innocent childhoods and weary adulthoods, resulting in confused, incongruent identities. For Mira Sharma, writing poetry is a means of untangling the complexities of her self and her surroundings. Unbounded by even standard grammar conventions, poetry is what sets Mira free. This book is an accumulation of the poems she has written over the years, which delve into topics such as racial identity, societal pressures, and dealing with the losses of friends and family. Together, they tell a story of a young girl slowly discovering her own meandering path and the purpose of it all. As the first installment in "The Voices Collection," this book of poetry connects with teenagers of diverse backgrounds and encourages them to revel in their truths. As bearers of the future, us teens must get used to having our voices heard.
