    About this ebook

    The Art of Being Mine is a collection of poems written by a poet from when she was16 years old all through the age of 21.
    The book is divided into thematic chapters that take the reader through a journey with the author's growth. The first chapter, The Seeding, conveys the birth of the poet in the author at the age of 16. Then The Innocence chapter demonstrates the growth of an eighteen and a nineteen years old poet. And finally, The Strength chapter which showcases the strength that awakened in her early twenties.

    Every poem is a story, a moment that the poet has lived.
    The author hopes the readers would connect with her poems, and to re-visit her art in their own way.

    The art that was once mine is now yours.
