The Morning Brightness, by Ameerah Brown

Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

What happens when the sun can’t reach you, or when rain continues to pour down? Life goes on, bills keep coming, and no one waits up for you. This journey of poetry is a short walk through a moment in life. A moment to take a seat on a park bench and reflect, a journal of sorts.

The Morning Brightness is a constant pulse of sunshine despite the thunderous clouds. This story is a rocket through the thick overcast set to reach the sun. Come along with your emotions packed and a heart ready to breathe.
