Making Medicine - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

M.ello is a Dominican American writer from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. A graduate of the University of South Florida with a degree in English Education, she spent six years teaching English and Creative Writing to middle and high school students. Much of her career was dedicated to serving students in inner-city communities, where she was deeply inspired by their resilience, struggles, and untold stories.Drawing from both her students' experiences and her own journey through grief, chronic health challenges, and mental health struggles, M.ello discovered the transformative power of writing as a path toward healing. Her debut poetry collection, Making Medicine, emerged from that journey-a testament to the slow, courageous work of mending oneself from the inside out.Through vulnerable and reflective poetry, M.ello explores themes of loss, resilience, self-discovery, and healing, inviting readers to find comfort, strength, and hope within their own stories.
