Bøker av Anna Jean

Let your mind become entranced by the coming-of-age poetry collection of debut poet Anna Jean. It encapsulates a 15-year-old girl's perspective on life, nature, and relationships.When Anna Jean was fifteen, she wrote down her thoughts and feelings into words on a page, weaved them together, and they've become a beating heart other poetry lovers can hold in the form of Bittersweet Seventeen.This vulnerable and unique collection of Anna Jean's poetry is a whirlwind of vast emotions, from teenage angst to melodrama. When written, the author captured the things that moved her through poems that stuck in her soul. She noticed the beauty in the little things; the way the trees bent with the wind and the way the grass felt beneath her bare feet. But, being a teenager, she also felt emotions intensely. Bittersweet Seventeen includes poems of heartbreak, rage, and an occasional boost of self esteem.More than anything, Anna Jean shares this collection of poems to encourage readers to feel both seen and understood. We've all lived through a gamut of emotions at some points in our lives; some of us have struggled more than others in one sense or another. Bittersweet Seventeen seeks to give words to those feelings, meaning to the angst, and visibility to the forgotten.Poetry fans, teens, parents of teenagers, and counselors will resonate with the wide range of emotions described metaphorically in Bittersweet Seventeen. It's a collection meant for everyone who needs to feel seen, heard, and loved as they are now.
