Shades of Shade

<p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Shades of Shade is a coffee-table book containing a collection of my poetry and original artwork illustrating the poems. The poetry is a depiction of life short stories difficult topics and taboos that exist in many countries. These realities have inspired me. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I hope to bring awareness and understanding of these conflicts that exist in many societies around the world. I have chosen to hire thirteen artists from different countries to showcase their varied styles and mediums of art. These illustrations depict and demonstrate the base meaning of my poetry. I am hoping this book itself becomes a piece of art.</span></p>
