World Poetry Day With Stolas
Celebrate World Poetry Day this March 21st, with Dark Matters: A Book of Poetry by Stolas.
Declared by UNESCO in 1999, World Poetry Day "is the occasion to honor poets, revive oral traditions of poetry recitals, promote the reading, writing and teaching of poetry, foster the convergence between poetry and other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and raise the visibility of poetry in the media...Poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace."
In debut book of poetry, Dark Matters, Stolas brings us together through rhythmic and raw verses by revealing that we are not alone in the darkness. "Pain is inevitable, but finding pleasure in every experience, is a choice."
About the Author
Stolas earned a B.A. in Psychology from Purdue University and is a Certified Life Coach. He prides himself in easily connecting with others, especially those amongst us who struggle with suffering and self-doubt. Stolas was born and raised in Marion, Indiana, contending with addiction, divorce, isolation, infidelity, as well as depressive episodes at a young age. Headphones and a camera became his best friends, allowing music and photography to soothe his soul. Stolas then turned to notebooks and filled their pages with powerful poetry.
