This was a lightbulb moment. Over the course of the next few weeks, Samantha began assembling together a collection of new pieces and previously unloved poems that couldn’t manage to stand on their own. Thus, the book, \u003cem\u003eAgreeable Gray\u003c\/em\u003e, was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAgreeable Gray\u003c\/em\u003e contains poems by a woman who has deemed herself agreeable. She makes arrangements to keep the peace despite a differing opinion. She goes with the flow for fear of starting an argument otherwise. She does not make waves. And she is willing to change to grow into a better human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSamantha Slaven is a writer currently living in Suburban Philadelphia (a move to the greater Orlando area is imminent).

She was nominated by \u003cem\u003eAlternate Route\u003c\/em\u003e for the 2025 Pushcart Prize for her poem ‘Gatekeeping and Missed Connections’.
