Description
'To never be afraid, Is not poetry. To be afraid, And carry on, To be afraid, Yet stand tall, And proud, To be afraid And be totally honest, To me, is poetry.' I see this book as a hand, one that guides, leads and occasionally holds you. These poems explore the fears that surround us in many different moments, from failure to honesty, vanity to death. Alongside charming yet peculiar illustrations, Leanna Amos conjures up imagery of beauty in fear and contrast in emotion. Through her original creation: Beeboo, she takes the reader on a journey of contemplation and curiosity.Young, newly emerging author, Leanna Amos seeks to explore emotions and their expression in her original series: Poems on Life. Poetry that is refreshingly simple and yet complex in thought engages you on every page. Touching subjects such as fear, courage, disappointment, trust and vulnerability all come together to explore the journey of our human life. If you are looking for poetry that relates to you everday, without asking anything in return, Poems on Fear may give you some ideas and perspectives that can only come when facing your own fears. Nevertheless, keeping a playful approach, a close companion, Beeboo, welcomes your company as you wander through the pages. A metamorphic, podgy white lump, he is a curious character who struggles to hide his emotions.Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of words, big eyes full of stars and some time to yourself, to recognise your own fears and have the courage to trust.
