SUMMARY:Book Launch: Banished Rose by Leila
DESCRIPTION:Join Montreal author Leila for the launch of her poetry collection Banished Rose. \nAbout the Book\nBanished Rose is a luminous collection of poetry spanning over two decades\, tracing the delicate arc of one woman’s journey from adolescence to creative maturity. From her first verses at age twelve to a reflective voice of thirty-four\, Leila conjures vivid imagery and deep emotion to illuminate her journey. \nEach poem becomes a moment of immersion\, a meditation on the present. With raw honesty and lyrical grace\, she invites listeners into an intimate world shaped by love\, heartbreak\, personal transformation\, and spiritual awakening. \nBanished Rose is a testament to the healing power of words\, a companion for anyone navigating life’s joys and sorrows\, and a reminder that within every heartache lies the possibility of grace. \nAbout the Author\nDaniela Beatriz Leal Reyes (Leila)\, is a Chilean independent author and poet\, based in Montreal\, Canada since 2018. She published her first book of poetry in October 2025\, Banished Rose\, a work published in English\, which brings together 47 poems and traces the author’s journey originally written in Spanish and translated into English by the poet herself. \nOne of his works\, Toque de Libertad\, included in his book\, was also published in the poetry anthology Trazos de hojas secas (2025)\, by Ediciones Converso.
