Lies and Other Minor Tragedies

In her first collection of free verse poetry, Alexandra Mikah shares lyrical verse based on a variety of life experiences that tell colorful and emotional stories about relationships, love, and heartache.

Mikah, a fresh voice in the world of poetry, divides her compilation into five sections-Him, Her, Them, Life, and Death-that each contain an explosion of feelings, thoughts, and her hopes for the future. She reflects upon the many emotions that accompany an open heart as she lyrically journeys through relatable feelings like grief, love, joy, and pain, Mikah teaches others that it is okay to love unconditionally, find hope in the darkest of times, and derive comfort in memories, even when it hurts.

"Lies and Other Minor Tragedies" shares a new poet's reflections as she leads others down an expressive path through her heart as she seeks understanding, healing, and inner-peace.
