Radiance Talley
Coming SoonOriginal Poetry on Isolation and Depression
Step inside the mind of a teen navigating isolation, exclusion, and depression. Through deeply personal poetry, Radiance traces the quiet buildup of stress, the sting of bullying, and the relentless weight of a culture that distorts self-perception — from invisibility to apathy, from sorrow to survival, and the courageous decision to fight for one's life.
Coming SoonOriginal Poetry on Oppression
Through original poetry written over fourteen years, Radiance lays bare the personal pain of encountering racism, sexism, classism, religious prejudice, and more — tracing oppression from subtle microaggressions all the way to segregation, slavery, and war. A personal account and a broader awakening.
