<p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The raw outpouring of emotion in easy to read prose has made Alana's work resonate with countless people who felt she was putting words to the feelings they struggle to articulate. Alana Kirby's first book the words i'll never say sold 10000 copies in its first six months due to her massive social media following under the pseudonym Alaska Lane. Her poems have been viewed by millions around the world.
