ATLANTA, GA - In an age where poetry often shouts to be heard, YOUby Vane Lashua does the opposite: it whispers, leans in close, and invites the reader to walk through the pages of a soul laid bare. Available now on Amazon and published by Author’s Tranquility Press, this intimate, deeply human collection unspools across memory, longing, joy, aging, and the quiet grace of living in full awareness.
Far more than a poetry compilation, YOU is a lifelong meditation on consciousness and connection. It reads like a journal kept in the margins of life—scribbled between fatherhood and politics, solitude and desire, loss and laughter. Lashua’s work evokes the quiet resistance of the everyday thinker and the aching beauty of aging with one’s eyes still open.
Across its pages, the reader will encounter musings and essays, lyrical meditations, quiet odes, and wild swings between irony and intimacy. You’ll find yourself in quiet cemeteries, cycling tracks in Bloomington, the back seat of a car under star-pinned skies, and the heart of conversations with Dylan and Donald Hall—whether real or imagined. Lashua captures it all with startling honesty and wordcraft that breathes.
