From youth poet, Naiyah Jean comes the debut chapbook of poems, Tears of Promise. This book of poetry was crafted during the Youth Writers Camp where writers ages 13-17 wrote poetry and crafted a book. "Tears of Promise is a small collection of poetry written by Naiyah Jean since the age of 15. The book encapsulates the thought process and emotional hurdles that she has gone through in her adolescence to be where she is right now. From inner workings to outer observations, the words written in this book were written for her to express herself, to find beauty in pain, whether it be her own or what she sees out in the world. She hopes that you find yourself in what she's written and treat yourself kindly." - from youth poet, Naiyah Jean.
