Forged In Ink : 300 South Media Group : 9781957596082 : 1957596082 : 01 Sep 2022 : Poetry, when done right lets the reader know they are not alone. With her long-awaited debut collection of poetry and prose, Forged In Ink, Avant Avant-garde has done just that. The messages Avant shares will leave lasting impressions to be shared and read again when needed. Forged In Ink consists of over 200 select pieces full of hope, heartache, excitement, love, lust, and most of all renewal and survival. Avant takes us on an incredible journey through her past, stopping on each page to pick up and drop off those who need a safe place to reflect on their own path. A true soul connection. Forged In Ink was created from the fire Avant felt inside, the need to spill her truth. Each piece is meant to embrace others in that ink, wrapping them in encouraging words and understanding as each page is turned.
