Such Is Life...

About the Book

This is a collection of poetry that captures some of the feelings and experiences that many of us encounter on this journey called life. The purpose of this book is to express some of those emotions and offer comfort in knowing that someone else can relate to your disappointments, insecurities, infatuations, and the loves of your life. It makes it alright to accept wherever you are at this moment in your life or whatever you may be feeling right now. It will inspire open conversation about individual experiences and hopefully provide an opportunity for people to understand that they may have more in common with others than they think. It is everything from funny, to disturbing, and even quite erotic. This collection offers a little something for everyone to relate to and ultimately implies that all of our ups and downs lead to change and with change comes growth. It is simply up to us to embrace the opportunity for growth and allow ourselves to exhale, with relief, in the change of our life’s journey.

About the Author

Tori Holly was born in Fairfield, California but raised most of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. She has always been a fan of the arts and comes from a large family with enormous talent in music and creative writing. She attended college at Coppin State and Morgan State Universities in Baltimore, majoring in Sociology, which lends to her analytical nature. Tori began writing in 1999 for leisure, as an outlet for self expression. She used writing as a stress reliever and to freely express her feelings and opinions without judgment. However, after sharing some of her work with friends and on social networks, the tremendous positive response inspired the release of her first book, Such Is Life.
