This Second Layer

This Second Layer is a collection of poetry and prose by modern poet Christine Jessica. Being eighteen years old at the time of publishing, This Second Layer gives the reader a glimpse of the author’s life - including the love, heartbreak, and feelings that come along with it. Christine shows the beauty of emotions throughout her minimalist writings. Alike her first best-selling and self-published book, Roses in SoHo, this poetry collection is presented with no pictures - only her words. Christine encourages you to find your own interpretation of her work. Each poem serves its own purpose. This collection will make readers of all ages open up their hearts and truly feel. Throughout every pain, every smile, and every tear, Christine realizes she has a second layer of skin - not just one.
