Such Is Life

In Such Is Life, her first published work, Kalliope King mixes poetry, essays, and a short story to reproduce life experiences we all relate to: the loss of a best friend, the quest to find love, the love parents have for their children. Her poetry, in particular, shows the power of words as they cross barriers of culture, language, and experience—with the hope that the power is enough to change thoughts, decisions, and hearts.
