Officially Available February 2021! When I was Young is a collection of over 100 pages of poetry and prose inspired by experiences and feelings of youth. With youth, there is great optimism, great adventure, and thus great disappointments. While all are highlighted in the poem one never loses a sense of hope and desire for greater than what has come. There is a consistent theme regarding the development of the relationship with self and balancing relationships with others. Each piece contains rhythmic, raw, and honest emoting. Jasmine Harris' poem, Black Questions, was recently accepted for publication in Penumbra Literary and Art Journal online, PenumbraOnline.org, starting November 17th.
