The Poetry of Emotion

Hope from raw emotion

Reading The Poetry of Emotion by Tiffany Rochelle is like having a conversation with a best friend. The honest prose beginning each section talks to you and humbly advises you from a perspective of real, lived experience. As soon as you finish this conversation you take a dive into the sometimes brutal but always sincere poetry of the author. It's akin to realizing just how much your friend trusts you and confides in you. The overarching message is one of hope and acceptance. It is a call to be human not only to those around you but to yourself. As Tiffany so eloquently writes, “... In this moment, I am human. And, in this moment, that's okay.”
