AN ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES TRIBUTE : POETRY COLLECTION

This is a collection of poems I have written to honor the novel that changed my life along with many others.

This February, in honor of the book, "All The Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven, I have decided to host a poetry celebration on my social media platforms. I called it #ALLTHEBRIGHTPLACESPOETRYCHALLENGE2020 or #ATBPPOETRYCHALLENGE2020. I did it to spread the lovely vibes of the novel since the film was coming up, and invite more readers and avid fans to celebrate every lovely thing that the book holds.

Anyone who knows me personally also knows that "All The Bright Places" isn't just a book for me. It spoke the language of my heart and soul when nobody else could. I relate to Theodore Finch and his profound, unexplainable sadness, to Violet Markey and her grief that words were deemed unworthy of holding, and even to Amanda Monk who played the role of everyone in her life but hers. This novel, in some ways, served as the first strike of a match in a particularly dark period of my life. It has even opened doors for me I never thought I'd find. I am beyond grateful that it exists, that Finch and Violet's story gets told, that a woman like Jennifer has the heart, mind, and sprit to spill such sad, beautiful, and tragic love story in the pages for the world to pore through. And as an expression of gratitude, this tiny collection is my tribute.

I hope you'll love it. 💙✨
