Author shares poetry that unveils the daily struggle of each person
From author Naomi Rose comes an honest and thoughtful poetry collection that depicts “The War Between Light and Dark”. She hopes that the vulnerability and truths embedded in each poem will have an impact to the readers in some way. “The War Between Light and Dark” is in its own way, a story that the author believes most everyone has experienced; the story of suffering turning into strength.
This collection of poetry is split up into two sections: dark and light. This book will take readers through a journey of loneliness, trauma, mental illness, shame, heartbreak, and more. This first half is where the breaking takes places; where the darkness consumes its victims; where all hope seems lost. Although, just like any dark tunnel, there’s a light at the end. The second half consists of peace, strength, self-love, spirituality, comfort, forgiveness and all the happiest, and hopeful happenings.¬ This is to be an encouragement, a reminder that one is never alone. Each poem itself tells a story and serves its own unique purpose.
The book is available online and can be purchased at Writers Republic, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
About the Author
Naomi Rose O’Leary is a junior from a small town in Iowa. She is an artist, writer, and musician who developed her passion for the creative arts at a young age. Even with school, show choir, and work keeping her busy, she made an effort to write every chance she could. She’d been inspired by others’ honesty and vulnerability in their writing; wanting to impact others just like she’d been impacted. After working on this project for a year, her writing and illustrations were put together, and “The War Between Light and Dark” was born.
