Each word serves as the foundation for a lyrical free verse poem and a haiku, reflecting her urban perspective. Accompanied by Javaka Steptoe's inventive collages made from diverse materials, this book offers an engaging portrait of a girl with a passion for language. The work not only showcases Tiana's creativity but also serves as an enticing introduction to the art of poetry, complete with an author's note on haiku.
