Poemsia by Lang Leav6/24/2023 In the end, it was words that broke my heart.” While you may find it melodramatic, that was an accurate (and concise) account of how I felt after experiencing an acrimonious breakup. Even to this day, I’m able to recite lines like, “ It was words that I fell for. When I first chanced upon best-selling author Lang Leav’s debut poetry collection, Love & Misadventure, in 2013, it was the unadulterated veracity of her words, untinged by the simplicity of her verse that struck me. In spite of this, the dauntless young adolescent took it all in her stride, knowing she was destined to be different. Why? Maybe it could be Leav’s headstrong and independent nature, her desire to wander, or her insatiable curiosity, coupled with a burning desire to do something extraordinary with her life-qualities that her elders lauded in boys, but frowned upon in girls. If Lang Leav were a literary character, she would be the spunky and spirited Jo March from Little Women. Godshot by Chelsea Bieker6/24/2023 Thank you for supporting our publishing ministry.

The consolation of philosophy book 16/23/2023 Philosophy promises Boethius that she will heal his misery, and tells him that the “cure” he needs is truth.
