Things I Know Now: Messages We Would Tell Our Younger Selves serves as a chorus of wisdom, a reflection on the intricacies of life, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this anthology, a diverse group of poets lends their voices to the most transformative moments of their lives, sharing insights, lessons, and reflections that have shaped them. The stories here whisper, shout, and affirm the bridge between evolved poets and their younger selves.

The collection features contributions from esteemed poets such as Taylor Mali, the curator of "Page Meets Stage" at the iconic Bowery Poetry Club; Roscoe Burnems, the inaugural poet laureate of Richmond, Virginia; and Dr. Leonard A. Slade, Jr., a retired English professor and author of over two dozen books of poetry. Exploring the nuanced landscapes of love, loss, identity, and triumph, this anthology brings together a rich tapestry of perspectives as a source of guidance for navigating life.

As much as it is a collection of individual journeys, it, too, is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to connect, heal, and inspire.
