You Are Here

The bestselling author of The Last Time I’ll Write About You delivers poetic anthems about growth and change that will embolden and empower you.
You Are Here is Dawn Lanuza’s newest collection of contemporary poetry that lends itself to the idea of giving ourselves second chances. These self-healing poems and words draw on central themes of self-love, self-discovery, and empowerment. In order to survive the vicissitudes of life, You Are Here boldly reminds readers to always choose themselves, and in times where it seems impossible, to find the courage and strength to start anew.
“One of my favorite Filipina authors . . . a collection of modern poetry and prose that are meant to be read slowly and savored. These are little vignettes reflecting on love and loss.” —Princess & Pages
“Takes the reader on a hopeful journey from heartbreak to healing. Lanuza’s straightforward writing includes many clever turns of phrase to delight the reader . . . [Her] poems explore the complexity of womanhood.” —Rev. Rebecca Writes
“I feel like this collection could help a lot of people dealing with depression (or mental illness in general) to feel seen and understood.” —Bookish Wanderess
