Kai'la LaKhai: A Poetic Anthology Of Life's Transitions (A Poetic Diary of Life's Transitions)

Some books find you at the right time. Kai'la LaKhai: A Poetic Anthology of Life's Transitions is a collection of poems written across a lifetime through love, heartbreak, identity, transition, joy, grief, and the quiet moments in between. It is the full story of becoming, told honestly and without apology. These poems were never meant to be a book. They were written in private to survive, to process, to feel less alone. They span two names and one life. Written as Kai'la. Written through transition. Written as LaKhai. All of it real. All of it human. This is a book about being Black in America. About love that changes you. About heartbreak that teaches you. About losing yourself and finding something better on the other side. About the work of becoming  not just once, but over and over again. It ends with hope. Not the easy kind. The earned kind. If you have ever felt alone in what you are going through this book was written for you. Not for a specific kind of person. For anyone who has ever had to fight to find themselves and chose to keep going anyway. "Choose to be your best so you won't disappoint yourself. It's that simple." Illustrated by Ty-Quasia Rippey, Ariana Radcliffe, and Yvonne Triche. Read more
