After the repeated recitation of an earnest prayer to hold/represent/become God’s love, Akron native Ceyanna Dent was guided through a journey that required her to peel back old layers of herself (then let them go). The almost two-year experience provided a more intimate walk with God but also yielded tangible work. don’t forget to breathe. is a self-reflection poetry journal designed to help the reader unfold unto themselves, one prompt at a time. It is a nod to the notion that breath is life, and that truth is the pathway to liberation.
don’t forget to breathe. is available at Elizabeth’s Bookshop & Writing Centre, located inside Compass Cafe at 647 East Market Street, Akron, Ohio 44304.
