becoming

Shana Roark's debut poetry collection, becoming, is an intimate exploration of identity, heartbreak, and love. Structured into three sections, the book delves into themes such as gender, race, self-love, beauty, and abuse, using sparse yet profound lines that invite deep reflection. Roark describes the work as her personal journey told in the most honest way she knows how. 

Readers have praised the collection for its emotional depth and relatability, noting that it feels like a heartfelt conversation with the author.
