Meet and greet with author Tierra Graves about her new book Prism of Me.
You will instantly connect to this compelling collection of poems about life – real life – and the day-to-day realities we face. The writer skillfully combines the elements of faith, history, culture, and a hint of urban flavor to tell stories, deal with current issues, motivate, and inspire. Without allusions, the poems are filled with intense emotional expression, vivid imagery, and unique rhythms.
As you read, you will find words for your most intimate thoughts and feelings about God, relationships, love, lives that matter, struggles, domestic violence – life! On this soulful journey into the past, the here and now and the forever after you will be awakened, enlightened, and entertained by the power of non-fiction poetry. Open your mind. Pause. Reflect. Visualize. These writings mirror a part of you.
Tierra Danielle Graves was born and raised in Washington, D.C. She studied at the University of the District of Columbia and West Virginia State University before receiving a bachelor’s degree in English from Trinity Washington University. “The Virgin” was her first poem published through a publication company at Trinity Washington University. This publication gave her the confidence to write more poems in hopes of publishing more of her work someday. She writes poetry, short stories, autobiographies, song lyrics, and essays. She also devotes her time to dancing, teaching, and designing. She is an English teacher by day but a poet forever.
Free and open to all. Books available to buy at the event!
