About the Book
Poetic Butterflies is a raw, heartfelt collection of poems born from the depths of personal struggle and healing. Written during a time of deep reflection within a mental health institution, these poems serve as a testament to the power of self-expression and the strength found in vulnerability. Batool Faruq Yazid-Foster opens a window into her inner world—navigating mental health, pain, hope, and growth. Each page invites readers to embrace their own journey, no matter how broken it may feel, with the understanding that beauty can still emerge—like butterflies from chaos.
This is more than poetry. It’s a gift: from the author, to you.
