Alphonso’s Poetry Journey

Alphonso started journaling in the summer of 2024 where he saw the value in self-reflection. He enjoyed putting his thoughts to paper, allowing himself to be free.

On October 5th, 2024 in the dining hall, Alphonso wrote his first poem. After reading it, he was in disbelief of being able to articulate his feelings in such a way. Writing poetry became an outlet for self-reflection and a form of expression. He had no idea how poetry would change his life.

Since then, he has become an author and released his first poetry book being listed as the #1 New Release Book and Top New Release in Inspirational & Poetry. Alphonso has been releasing his poems on his social media platforms and will soon be making his debut on stage.

The inspiration of this Poetry book comes from Alphonso’s passion of wanting to make a positive impact on the world. Life is hard and comes with a lot of trials and tribulations. However, he believes that we are not defined by who we were but by who we choose to be in the now. Words have the power to bring a positive change in people and that is the goal of this book. To bring encouragement and inspiration into the lives of others.
