Bethany Livers: Publishes Book of Poetry

Theatre Arts | Level III | Academic Studio
 
With A Pen In My Hand is now released!

"It is a book of poetry about being at the center of the world and understanding it. Often, we are surrounded by so much that we just rush through everything to get to the next step," said Bethany, "We have to understand the world through knowledge, wisdom, and hope. To me, poetry reveals the mystery of the mind. That’s when writing comes into place with a pen in your hand."
