Passionate Insights in Rhyme

Amalia Jusayan's debut poetry collection speaks to the universal need for guidance through a resolute dedication to a higher power. Passionate Insights in Rhyme transports us to a world of questions about wisdom, love, and free will, allowing us to join in a pursuit for the truths that we often find ourselves searching for.

When faced with faltering relationships both romantic and platonic, the speaker is reminded of the solace that can be found in the Divine. We are asked, "Are all hardships before us / burdensome?" and immediately given an answer: "No, not at all, / for He has given man the wisdom to persist."

As the collection unfolds, we are given glimpses into a world that is vibrant but precarious, exciting yet wavering, and enthralling in its pursuit of tangible, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment. What we are left with is a sense of comfort in the unknown that leaks into every aspect of day-to-day life and a reassurance in our own beliefs as a tool for healing and growth.
