Deep-diving into the culprits of my self-deprecation, "Discount Shakespeare" showcases all 50 of my poems, originally posted on Twitter, which I had written from my high school years to this day (whenever this gets published, I guess). 

Teeming with vivid themes of philosophy, science, love, rage, and protest, this poetry book aims to be nothing short of the perfect companion for an existential crisis.

These pieces are best paired with a bowl of mac n' cheese, the devastating daily news, or an endless loop of Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" blasting at maximum volume through the walls of your bedroom. 

And if you're a damsel in the mood for distress, then this is the book for you!

An anthology of musings.

Anthology Of Love(Poetry Collection)

Greetings dear readers! This is my first ever poems book. And um I wrote these all based on my personal experiences. As you may journey through chapters of this book based on my life and events throughout. A little sprinkle of the chapters are fictional but nearly all are non-fiction straight from reality. Hopefully you will love this journey with me. Few of these poems are dedicated to my friends or based on their experiences/point of view. Most poems may contain heartbreak or sad feelings but still the majority of the poems are about love, happiness and positivity. I am so glad that I am in a better place now, looking back on my life just a while ago I was not the person I am today. With the help of people I love the most I have overcome everything I needed to dodge. If you are going through something difficult in life, please share it with someone whom you trust more than anything. Remember being happy & positive is what matters the most truly. Love Y'all So Much. With Love, S.
