Martyr Zaria Suggs

Heartbreak is not limited to a lover but extended to the hands of those you love. mARTyr is a book of poetry ranging from love and heartbreak to stereotypes and social unrest. This 25 poem set is a compilation of pieces carefully chosen to become a whole work. Through the eyes of a teenage black girl, emotionally driven poetry has led to a release and connection. Subjects like police brutality and human trafficking are strung together with themes of the theory of beauty and the desire of being connected by love. mARTyr proves that suffering for a cause can breed beautiful art.
