Resumen del Editor

Angelina Scriptor began writing poetry when she was only a child, but one fateful day, she decided to look back. It was only then that she realized she had something that most poetry books lacked. While still only a teenager, Angelina noticed that life encompasses more than the simple routes of love and loss that other poets tend to focus on. Life holds both hidden beauties and traumatizing horrors, tucked intricately within its own pages, jumbled amongst themselves to further hide the signs of their existence.

Life is telling a story, day in and day out. Slowly, it builds and breaks each of its characters, leaving them to individually collect the pieces of the puzzle that they constantly yearn to complete. And, in the meantime, they are left to create their own stories, whether they do so while coming together with others, or if they’re left to trudge down the dark path of life alone, barely making it to their next sentence.

If you choose to listen to this book of poems, you will be met with many stories that Scriptor experienced over the years, whether they be her own, or those she uncovered while peering down the path of another.

This book holds not only the beautiful rosebuds of life’s growth, but also its sharp, threatening thorns. Every poem is left to fulfill another journey, never relying on that of another to do so. Sometimes, words sit seemingly simple, but more times than not, its vines will burrow deep into the root of life, tugging at its very existence.

That is for each listener to determine for themselves, may they decide to seek the answer.

So special

I can’t believe the author is so young! Even at my age some of her words were inconceivable to me. How special that she is able to read and write her own poetry! I’m so glad I get to have this in my life.

Fantastic

I listened while on a three hour drive to work. Can’t believe how eloquent it was written and narrated for someone so young.

Excellent Story

The writer and narrator is beyond her years and ahead of her time. Very well written and well spoken. I own the book and listened along while reading. Enjoyed the whole process!

Beautifully written and read poetry

I love the way every word of these poems were read. The author described everything in a way that made me feel like I was there. I listened while eating my lunch, and it was so relaxing! Voices mean a lot to me, and the way this was read was so soothing and understandable. Very satisfying read, and I loved that the author read the book herself. Very special and remarkable experience.
