In recovery after a health scare & subsequent medical procedure, & one of my motivations to get better (& soon) is the fact that @akefestival is in 3 weeks. Such a good thing that it's exactly what the doctor ordered! PS. Find my debut poetry collection on Amazon worldwide.

If you've never experienced @akefestival, you'd not know how soul-charging it is. My favorite time of the year, it somehow always appears whenever I need rejuvenation the most. The 2026 edition is especially special for me, as it will mark my first time as a published author!
