Sparkstone Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781982028398)

"Sparkstone" PoetryBy Pialee RoyExplanation: On the verge of realizing that not all relationships work out in one's twenties, a character named "Sparkstone" writes poetry anonymously to express her distraught feelings and realizations about friendships and unmet expectations in romantic relationships. She goes to a coffee shop in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to write poetry intended to be music lyrics and starts to study music to deal with her emotions. Although she briefly took piano and singing lessons in her youth, she participates in Indian singing lessons and western guitar lessons during this time. Given she formerly depended on others to explore her likes and dislikes, when they start to drop out of her life due to marriage, or relocations, she is confronted with facing who she is with or without them. She later realizes she is essentially searching for her own identity to hold constant in the face of changing times.She chronicles her effort through journal writing and searching for others who are going through a similar experience. Realizing that so many people are going through similar feelings, the human relationship experience is a complex one. She tosses out the journal and dives into living her life for two years without the people she used to know. One day upon cleaning her apartment before moving, she discovers not all is lost. Her perceptions and emotions of past events from that time are discovered in her poetry booklet and are shared below. The writing expresses sadness and anger and then eventually describes closure and hope.(During the year the poetry was written, the author was studying and working on her masters thesis, imbibing coffee, really taking music lessons and taking walks along the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts.)
