An Afterthought (Paperback, Ruth Beatriz Costa)

“If my present were an echo of, a past I can’t forget – Then these thoughts are just an afterthought – and I am always in its debt.” These lines from Lang Leav’s poem ‘Afterthought’ foreshadows my poetry book ‘An Afterthought’ that exudes thoughts that have sat with me on a good day, a bad day or simply in the quietude of the night, and feelings that have been overlooked or forced into confinement, to never witness the light.
