Bloom Nitasha Jackson

'Bloom' is the debut collection of poetry, prose and lyrics by American musician, NiTasha Jackson. The collection is split into three parts, "before [in fragments]," "immersion [the unraveling]," and "et que la lumiére soit [bloom]." It begins in a place of brokenness and constriction, and shifts to a place of awakening and healing - unraveling fear and shame, while the final part moves into the wide open spaces of freedom and wholeness. Each piece is like a snapshot of moments along a journey of losing, seeking and finding oneself. It is a story of the return to love in all of its forms, rising and flourishing in it.'Bloom' is also the basis for many of the songs on Jackson's forthcoming album, "Square One."
