Exploring Real Issues

From discovering cultural identity and acceptance to dealing with loss. Add dashes of sauciness and you have the phenomenal poetry book Self Portrait: Intimate Reflections.

Masterfully crafted by Syeita Rhey, Self Portrait: Intimate Reflections comprises unedited verses written by the author in her teen/young adult years—some 10-15 years ago—during her frantic and tumultuous search for her true cultural identity. Conveying confusion, self-awareness, anger, and love, each verse grasps a vital rite of passage, transitioning Rhey from the challenging world of foster care into a powerful, independent public servant.
