Gold - Paperback

by Aenea Kanaan (Author)

Gold centers around the themes of love and loss, vulnerability, the journey to discover self-worth, and finding one's voice in a world that has become increasingly loud. Combining poetry written from 2014 to 2021, this book is the first physical manifestation of a deeply personal look into Aenea Kanaan's mind. Using poetry as a powerful outlet of self-expression, she explores the realities of staying true to oneself, the struggle to belong, embracing sensitivity as a strength, and inhabiting the human existence. This book is meant to be as cathartically healing to read as it was to create.

Author Biography

Aenea Kanaan is a twenty-three-year-old poet, artist, and storyteller based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a recent graduate from Syracuse University in New York, she uses her degree in communication and rhetorical studies to build worlds through her imaginative writing and channel her deepest, most intimate feelings into art. With the opportunity to study abroad in Osaka, Japan, during her time at Syracuse, she gained an even deeper reverence for other cultures, languages, and ways of life, which influences how she sees the world.
