When The Concrete Meets The Sun is a Collection of Original Poetry and Photography Portraying Love and Loss
Palm Beach, FL – Chantal Celeste, a Palm Beach resident and recent graduate of Florida Atlantic University, became a first-time author with the publishing of her poetry book Where The Concrete Meets The Sun. The poetry book details an emotional journey through moving stories and photography on love, empathy, encouragement, and friendship. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.
“”The words of my favorite authors allowed me to escape my reality and created a safe haven for me,” said Chantal Celeste, author. “I often found peace in writing in my favorite places – Okeeheelee Park, the Palm Beach County library system, and in the open air on my FAU campus. This book is a reflection of the people and place that watched me grow up into the person I am today. I hope it will give hope, strength and inspiration to people no matter what stage of life they currently find themselves in.”
Published by Deerfield Beach’s TriMark Press, Where The Concrete Meets The Sun is broken up into four chapters, each featuring a variety of poetry that starts and ends with a beautiful array of photography shot by Celeste along with engaging captions that also serve as additional poems. Photographs were captured across South Florida, New York City, and Spain.
Chantal Celeste is a first generation Dominican-American who currently resides in South Florida. She is a recent graduate of Florida Atlantic University, where she studied Psychology with an interest in women’s issues. When Celeste immigrated to the United States from Santo Domingo, at ten years old, instead of trying to conform to the cultural norms, she found her refuge in reading and writing. Celeste hopes that her vehement poetry provides words of encouragement and helps people heal from their trauma.
