LOST IN A QUATRAIN

ADIELA AKOO

Description

Lost in a Quatrain is a relatable, inspiring and thought provoking read on a journey to becoming, a journey of hope and healing. 'WHIPLASH' from the book has been quoted in a debate in The House of Parliament and the award winning author was further nominated as one of the 'Top 7 Most Promising Literary Influencers' in the GBCAwards 2020. Lost in a Quatrain was First Runner-Up for poetry in the SAIP Awards 2021 and is being translated into different languages.


Cathartically written over an 18 year period, Lost in a Quatrain is a select collection of deep, must-read, soul stirring poetry with each poem telling a story that pieces together the puzzle of this crazy, not always romantic, experience we call life...


With just 48 poems that read like short stories, Lost in a Quatrain is a quick, but deeply contemplative read.


'Poetry is intimacy between poet and reader. It's revealing your truth and feeling safe acceptance in the unveiling'
