Overview

The poems in Rainbows After Rainstorms portray the power of hope and resilience in navigating life's adversities through the lens of romantic relationships.From the perspective of a young woman, the poetry progresses from the start of a first love to a newfound maturity that has grown through her experiences.First relationships come with an innocence and openness that can leave one vulnerable to disappointment and loss of oneself, as the line between self-love and commitment to another may be blurred.The unfamiliar path of a first relationship often mirrors the broader uncertainty of life. Hardship is inevitable, but growth lies in our ability to overcome these challenges.Finding oneself cannot happen without getting lost in the process. Love can be a double-edged sword, wielding the power to both uplift and strike down, but it still makes living life all the more worthwhile. (About the Author) Maya Richards is a nineteen-year-old student at Cornell University, and this is her first book. She began the writing process during her first relationship at seventeen. ""I was filled with sentiments of excitement and an eagerness to embrace love. We parted ways shortly after I began writing, and although my relationship had ended, I chose to channel my disappointment into determination. My poems took on a different light, expressing my triumphs, hopes, and frustrations through the lens of romance. What started as an exploration of a relationship grew into something more personal: a journey toward understanding myself."" She hopes to inspire other young women to be courageous in pursuing their passions.
