7:00 AM

Growth and change—two powerful anthems resonate throughout this collection of poetry and prose that will leave you feeling emboldened and empowered.

You Are Here is Dawn Lanuza’s newest collection of contemporary poetry that lends itself to the idea of giving ourselves second chances. These self-healing poems and words draw on central themes of self-love, self-discovery, and empowerment. In order to survive the vicissitudes of life, You Are Here boldly reminds readers to always choose themselves, and in times where it seems impossible, to find the courage and strength to start anew.

This poetry book themes are around the idea of giving ourselves second chances, and self-healing. I enjoyed most of the poems in this book. I felt the poet knows what they are writing about and is inspired to want to help others. There are poems that wrote down because I wanted to have these words. I feel that the cover fits the poetry within these pages. they are bright but gray just like rainy days. The other message that was in some of these poems were about picking yourself, and that you can start new and that it's okay. Even though my socks weren't blow off my feet, I still like this poetry book and had fun while reading it.

I joyed the poetry and Lanuza's way of curving words into lyrics of messages that many people need to her.

I was given an ARC of this book, these are 100% my honest thoughts.
