by Scarlett Brooks (Author)
With an appetite for describing the indescribable, Scarlett Brooks takes on the personal challenge to divulge the depths of her own psyche in her first collection of poetry, Silk Dreams. Taboo, emotionally intense, and visually stimulating, Silk Dreams taps into the hidden parts of herself that were once kept locked away.
During the end of her marriage, Brooks found the courage to explore everything she once suppressed. It was the year of "The Dive"-constant leaps of faith without knowing where she would land. These leaps became the very essence of her metamorphosis, welcoming true authenticity into her life. Within this transformative period came the birth of the raw expressions in Silk Dreams. Filled with newly revealed people, places, and emotions, readers will walk with Brooks as she regains back the power which so many tried to tear down.
Just like her creativity, her sensuality is a part of her. Brooks is fascinated with sexual feelings as well as the mysterious forces beyond mere physical attraction which draws two people together. With Silk Dreams, walking on eggshells became a thing of the past, as she got outside her comfort zone and faced difficult truths.
Brooks grew tired of hiding who she was, limiting her desires to what was suitable and appropriate for others. There was aways a part of herself which she kept hidden, doing a disservice to herself and her true destiny. Silk dreams breaks down her own barriers revealing true inner desires, longing, self-love, intense emotions-and energy, comfort, and safety in her inexplicable connections with other women.
