THE DEATH OF ME: An Unfinished Poetry Book for Teens

by Devin Alessi

Over the course of four years, Devin has written and organized the rough draft of a poetry book following the growth and decay of relationships as she has experienced them in the span of her adolescence in order to create a series of stories and poems that people the same age can read and relate to their own experiences. She has always felt most comfortable expressing herself through writing, and wants this book to be a voice for those her age whom it may not come as easily to. The book consists of free-verse, prose, quotes and short stories.
