This is similar to the layout of my poetry book! The poems were written over the course of 15 years (ages 15-30ish). I did my best to lay them out in a way that tells the story of my life. I didn't do it perfectly, but I'm still pretty happy with the way it came out and the visible growth (personal and in my writing!) that jumps off of the pages.

That is amazing. I need more story-based poetry books! I ended up writing my story as I was living it so mine is broken up into "life sequences" book 1 covers 3 years of my life and a full on story arc. Not quite a novel, not quite a poetry book. A page turner regardless!
