Young TCI Spoken Word artist, Holly Missick, known by her stage name, Hollene of Troi, has officially released her debut book, ‘Spoken Words Unchained’.
“Thought-provoking”, “bold”, and “Sexy” are just a few of the words used to describe many of Holly’s stage performances, and now she brings that same energy to her debut literary work. Holly has performed at several local Spoken Word events across Providenciales, and has been a part of the poetry group ‘Towers of Babel’, whereby several pieces of her work were published via national print media.
“This book is me, it is who I am. Naked, unclothed, I am taking it all off and laying out my bare soul in this book. It is a collection of some of my finest work and I wanted my readers to relate to all 136 pages. When they buy ‘Spoken Words Unchained’ they are essentially buying a part of me,” remarked Holly.
Holly further explained that: “I used a lot of my own life when I wrote this book. The poems cover a range of topics, such as love, without love there’s nothing; also, society and even my thoughts on life itself. I may not have personally gone through every situation, but I certainly experienced every single emotion expressed. Spoken Word has become my passion and I want to use that passion to take my readers on a journey through my mind. All they have to do is hold on for the ride.”
According to Holly, the book took a lot of determination in order to complete, as she had many setbacks during the process, but she never let that deter her from her ultimate goal. ‘Spoken Words Unchained’ is only the first in what Holly hopes to be a long and productive writing career. Digital versions of the book are available right now from Amazon.com for $17.99 and readers can also order paperback copies directly from there. However, paperback versions of the book will be available soon at the Unicorn Bookstore, Graceway Plaza, Providenciales.
