The Rebirth of a Phoenix: A Poetry Collection - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Destinee Shipley is the medical student, poet, and now founder of her book publishing business, Firebird Spark, LLC. She has written poetry since late in high school when one of her friends challenged her to write free verse poetry that didn't rhyme, thus breaking her ideas of what poetry could be. She realized that she loved how through poetry she could be her fullest self and finally express the thoughts swirling in her head. That love came in handy during college when she faced many struggles including self-doubt and mental illness, and was entangled in an abusive relationship. Writing gave her stability while her world was in chaos, and upon reflection, showed her just how chaotic her world had become. Poetry was also her way out of that darkness and back into the light of her self-discovery and self-love.Destinee lives in Atlanta, GA and attends Morehouse School of Medicine. She loves to read, play board games, try out new restaurants, and when she thinks it wont bother her neighbors she also likes to practice her saxophone.
