Synopsis

This book is the poetic memoir for anyone brave enough to recover their inner voice.

Dakota's words slip past the masks we all wear and reminds us the gift of authentic living. His work has been compared to that of a modern day mystic with a poetic style like Rumi and Hafiz, with a forward written by fellow author and poet Allie Michelle (Explorations of a Cosmic Soul).

For readers who loved Rupi Kaur (Milk and Honey), Nayyirah Waheed (Salt), Najwa Zebian (The Nectar of Pain) and more, Dakota's collection breathes fresh life and new perspective into a saturated space.
"Every heart deserves a voice, if you are looking, borrow mine." -Dakota Adan

About this title

About the Author:

Dakota's poetic works have been compared to that of a modern day mystic; employing a playful yet sobering command of language like Rumi and Hafiz, while still holding onto the deep gravity every heart feels. Having performed his poetry in Los Angeles, and as far away as Bali, Indonesia, Dakota's journey has captured the attention of thousands of readers across the globe. A living paragon of self-acceptance, Dakota's work champions anyone who has felt like the outsider or the outcast, and gives voice to the dreamer in us all.

Review:

You will not escape this book without shedding a few tears, as Dakota walks you home to your own heart.

--Allie Michelle (Poet)

The way he writes gets under the skin. It gives people the permission to feel.

--Anna Sarayna Edwards (Writer)

As we spend our days scrolling through social media and struggling daily not to compare our lives to others, it becomes easy to get so disconnected from our true selves. Dakota so beautifully finds a way through his written words to reach deep, and cut through the noise so we can find our way back to ourselves and our voice.
