THE BOOKS
A journey through chaos and calm, Love & Ink: Reason captures the moments where poetry becomes both escape and healing. These verses mark the beginning of Kiana’s path toward clarity and self-discovery.
In this intimate continuation of the Love & Ink series, Kiana explores growth, hope, and truth through poetry that is both passionate and thought-provoking. Each piece invites readers to look inward and see what their own reflections reveal.
Written during National Poetry Writing Month across several years, this collection celebrates creativity in bloom. Through varied forms and themes, Kiana tends her poetic garden—reminding us that nothing grows without love and a little cultivation.
Here, the Muse takes center stage, using the poet’s voice to tell stories of love, loss, injustice, and renewal. When the Muse Speaks is an invitation to listen with your heart and hear the many truths of the human experience.
