“The Book of Venus” is a collection of poems written on growing up, surviving a global pandemic, struggling with mental health, feeling lost in your twenties, and maintaining relationships as a young woman. Penned between 2020 and 2024, The Book of Venus provides a true and honest diary of a 20-something experiencing shocking life changes during the transition from teenage girl to adult woman, and shows how a small shift can dramatically rewrite the future.
