It's Dawn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218292164)

In her debut collection, Jovina Vaswani presents poems that serve as sanctuaries of solace and candid acceptance. Readers are welcome here in their entirety, be it fragmented, lost, or beautifully whole. From the "we slurped strawberry smoothies while walking the Brooklyn Bridge" kind of love that feels familiar to the poignant drift akin to "dandelion bristles," Jovina doesn't merely share her journey of healing and self-discovery, rather, she compels us to immerse ourselves, to clutch-and be cradled by-her words. These poems speak to us like a best friend in our darkest moments and a sister or mother or found-family-soul-piece who's simply happy we exist. They urge us to open our hearts to love and light, to join her in "absorbing the miracle of the setting sun," having faith it will rise again tomorrow, and we will not be alone.
