Stephanie Kawada announces the publication of 'Our Personal Gaman: A Poetic Palette in the Circle of Life'
GARDENA, Calif., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stephanie Kawada finally release her first poetry collection titled "Our Personal Gaman: A Poetic Palette in the Circle of Life" (published by Archway Publishing).
This anthology of poems represents her family's story, which has been dealt a certain deck of cards and is challenged to make certain choices. The poems depict the dilemmas they faced and the people who have made an impact in their lives and have motivated them to gain strength and cope with utmost grace and choose a better path. Weaving a poignant and inspiring story to describe "gaman," a Zen Buddhist term that expresses perseverance and discipline in the face of adversity, this conglomeration of free verse and haiku aims to remind readers to persevere and always move forward, despite the challenges and afflictions, and not allow personal turmoil to occupy center stage.
"In society, we meet all types of people," Kawada says. "Let us never forget those who are less fortunate—those who are ill or have disabilities, or those who may suffer from depression or feel isolated. I hope that this book will inspire them to make every attempt to rise above their existing condition and choose to live—to feel motivated to follow the meandering and diverse roads that this interesting journey takes in the circle of life. May the journey bring renewed hope and personal fulfillment."
"Our Personal Gaman: A Poetic Palette in the Circle of Life" will appeal to those who are in need of inspiration and encouragement. This book aims to bring renewed hope and personal fulfillment in their journey. Visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/842583-our-personal-gaman for more information.
