petals and thorns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781049287829)

in petals and thorns, vuyisile rodolo traces a deliberate journey through belonging and doubt, rupture, and renewal. these poems dwell in vulnerability without spectacle, and in resilience without triumph.

this revised edition refines the book's emotional arc, guiding readers toward a quiet but enduring truth: we are not merely shaped by what we survive - we are shaped by how we choose to inhabit it.

not a book of instruction, but of presence.

not a promise of certainty, but an invitation to stand, to breathe, and to begin again.
