You Speak to Me: Poetry Promoting Expression and Connection

You speak to me is about how something we come across or encounter resonates with us in different and diverse ways, can be part of our internal dialogue, or where we find ourselves being in two minds, feeling conflicted, or emotionally torn between what choices, decisions, and actions to make and take.

This book intends to serve as a medium in promoting expression and connection through a collection of topical and theme based poetry in dialogue with one another highlighting metaphorically speaking, what speaks to us and what we need to tune into, attend, and respond to.
