Healing Doves: Mental Health Poetry (Author Interview)


https://www.ukiyoto.com/product-page/healing-doves-mental-health-poetry


Healing Doves looks like helpful poetry.  Can you tell us a little about it?
Yes, Healing Doves was written to help break down the stigma surrounding mental health and offer hope. I hope these words help someone going through a rough time or reach people who have gone through trauma and personal issues.

Any plans to turn it into a series?
I'm planning on writing a second poetry book called "Peace Tree Poetry".

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
When i was 11 years old i was sick in the hospital and the doctors thought i would die. During that difficult time in my life i started writing poetry and never looked back.
 
How did you come up with the title to your book?
I love how the dove represents hope for many people.
 
What will readers get out of your book?
They will know that they are never alone with whatever issues they've gone through or are currently dealing with. There is always someone willing to listen and be there for you.
 
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when writing Healing Doves?
It was definitely difficult writing so open about my own struggles. 
 
What do you like to do when not writing?
Read :)
