Awaken LOVE is a debut creative collaboration between poet Leseliey Rose and artist Stephanie Holloway. Featuring 15 poems paired with original abstract art, this intimate, first-edition collection explores love as a force for healing, connection, and justice.

Awaken LOVE is perfect for poetry lovers, art enthusiasts, social justice advocates, and anyone seeking inspiration, comfort, or a reminder of our shared humanity. It makes a meaningful gift for birthdays, or any moment when someone needs to be reminded of the love that lives within and around us all.

LESELIEY ROSE is a poet, social entrepreneur, and professional dreamer whose work centers love as a force for healing, connection, and justice. Her poetry explores the intersections of identity, belonging, and the radical act of choosing love in a world rife with division. Awaken LOVE is her debut poetry chapbook.

STEPHANIE HOLLOWAY is a visual artist whose abstract work explores color, emotion, and the ineffable qualities of human connection. Stephanie's collaboration with Leseliey on Awaken LOVE represents a deepening of their creative partnership as life partners and co-creators.

Together, Leseliey and Stephanie create work that celebrates love in all its forms—as tenderness, as courage, as justice, as healing, as liberation.
