Stories Concepts and Other Thoughts We Don't Say Aloud Kayla Schulze

Stories, Concepts, and Thoughts We Don't Say Aloud is a poetry collection that explores many aspects of life; what it holds, and how we each handle it. As life has highs and lows, so does this collection, as each chapter ventures into different heights and heartaches. The chapters focus on the concept of happiness and joy: how we search for it, how we gain it, and what we do when we find it while also exploring the dark, intense feelings that no one dares to say aloud. It encourages and uplifts the reader, giving them a space to breathe and feel empowered, and includes a collection dedicated to all those words we keep for ourselves amidst relationships. With many first-person accounts and notes to the audience, this work is filled to the brim with emotional and literary variety.
