The Calm and The Storm Angela Paraskevopoulos

"As long as I am here, the tides will always rise and fall." The Calm and The Storm is a collection of poetry by Angela Paraskevopoulos surrounding identity, mental illness, travel and lust. With poems written between the ages of fifteen and nineteen, this work is an ode to chaos and conquest. It's a journey through change and revelation, through freedom lost and found again. This anthology recognizes that peace of mind is not a chronological venture; we'll experience a number of personal storms throughout our life, but if we dig deep enough, we will always find the strength that is needed to push on.
