Activated

Activated is a collection of poems exploding with rhythmic language that explores an underlying theme of allegory where Anadel Montero walks her readers through a journey of reflection and free verse conversations she has within herself. What began as journal entries in therapy sessions and a tool for self-healing, has whole-heartedly manifested into an empowering first compilation of poetry. The inspiring collection of poetry is beautifully relatable as it reminds readers to fill up with love, acceptance, family, and community. Anadel's poems are accompanied by illustrations gorgeously drawn by Maria de la Luz that mirrors the narrative of everyday experiences in the lives of today's contemporary young adults.

This collection of poems is divided into two parts: Quarantine Qronicles captures the author's thoughts during an important moment of stillness in our global consciousness, while Unmuted is an empowering unleashing and vulnerable self-expression into the world. Anadel's witty lyrical poems will find a way to connect to every reader and lead them to an enlightened state of self-reflection.
