Roots of Reverie

Roots of Reverie is Manna’s debut, a collection where the poet herself becomes the subject. Each verse reflects her journey shaped by family bonds, her grandfather’s grounding wisdom, and her mother’s enduring inspiration. Themes of nostalgia, grief, faith, and growth weave into a lyrical self-portrait, inviting readers to witness how memory and emotion intertwine. With her background in geology, Manna layers resilience and beauty into her writing, turning fragments of life into reverie. This book is both testament and invitation—an intimate mosaic where personal reflection opens space for readers to discover echoes of their own stories.
