Discover Raw Indiana Poetry On Dealing With Personal Struggles & Depression

To find healing, we must first understand how to express our pain. For many, the best way to do this is with Indianapolis poetry.

Edgar Allen Poe once described poetry as the \"creation of beauty in words\" - a sentiment shared by Indianapolis poetry author, Aisha Tariqa Abdul Haqq. As she and the rest of the world celebrate National Poetry Month in April, she revisits her works, including the two books that were inspired by her own personal struggles.

She recalls a poem she included in her best-selling book, \"Four Years in Chrysalis\" which reads: \"Every day, I have to experience his death anew And Children should always grow old It is a sign of the times when young boys you kiss on the cheek one day become symbols of martyrdom the next\"

\"It is a sign of the times when we are either moved or unmoved by such events It is a measure of your spirit to be moved\" \"You can evolve under the heavy glance of what moves you You can become new honest strong here tangible underneath the heavy weight of it all\"

The collection of Indianapolis poetry attempt to capture Aisha’s life and how she has overcome these obstacles, including finding peace after the death of her younger brother to gun violence. She says that there is an emptiness of soul that can only be filled with the soothing expression of slam poetry.

Aisha is the author of two best-selling books. She plans on publishing more in the future.  She believes that universal experiences can be properly expressed through various forms of slam poetry.
