Learning to Fly Artemis L Tally

Learning to Fly is a poetic memoir that tells a story of a Black Nonbinary Femme exploring love and trying to find peace in their life. This collection of poems is inspired by true events in the life of the author. As they reflect on past relationships, they try to find love and meaning to all that has happened. It's more than just a love letter to men that have left their mark in their life. It's a declaration of independence and a demand for better love. It's an act of gratitude for those who continue to share their love. It's an acknowledgement of all the hard lonely nights and the darkness of depression they faced throughout the years. It's a celebration for the wonderful moments with beautiful people. It's a moment of mourning for the loss of those who exited the picture before it even fully developed. It's all these things and so much more in-between. Learning to Fly is an insightful glance into the past in hopes of propelling forward into a brighter future.
