Description
This evocative poetry collection explores the hidden fears, uncertainties, and private struggles that shape contemporary life. Moving through landscapes both physical and emotional, the poems confront vulnerability, resilience, spirituality, and the search for meaning without relying on formal religious belief. In the title poem, sharks become a vivid metaphor for a young girl’s fear of the unknown, while the collection as a whole transforms anxiety into a source of insight and strength. Lyrical, intimate, and quietly powerful, the book encourages readers to face life’s challenges with courage and wonder.
