Description of the Book :
 
Shayla Sugden is a mystery to herself; allured by sleeping nature, and looking for herself in the roots. In The Daisies Have Thorns, Sugden embarks with the reader on a journey of new beginnings, and finding strength in small places. From high mountaintops to low valleys of a picturesque world, each poem delves deeper into a scene where magic lies just beneath the earth’s surface, waiting for those who dare to dig a little bit deeper. Sugden creates a fountain of youth in her work, bringing ancient worlds back to life, and playing on the strings of the human experience which stretch across time. The vivid emotion and sincere style evokes the intense ordeals vital to vulnerability, self-discovery, and growing up, exploring profound tones to capture the woes of growth and resilience. Accompanied by thoughtful imagery, the poems look for the words to describe the cavernous depths of heartache and yearning for something more, while finding beauty and catharsis in the ordinary world.
