Creating a Poetry Book: “Sadness to Joy”

My Goal is to save enough money to edit, publish, and hopefully make an audible for my book❣️

My name is Lasith R. Witharana. I am a Poet, Speechwriter, and Spoken-Word artist. My “Chronicles of Lazarex” are on my history of bipolar disorder and success from distress and support to others who have had such mental illness currently. I have created a poetry book and have started using it to showcase my oral speech and entertain and heal others. I have self-published only two copies of my book, “Sadness to Joy,” with the assistance of the Edmonton Public Library and Makerspace. However, I aim to use my marketing funds to help pay for my book using a video and present more portals for my art. I have always loved literature, and even though I did not finish all my studies at MacEwan University because of health problems, my goal has always been to be a published author.
