Do not stop now, you little warrior.
It’s almost dawn.
-It’s Dawn
My first poetry collection, It’s Dawn, is a stream of words my heart whispered when piecing itself back. It is a tale of putting one foot in front of another while clutching hope with both hands and carrying love in my backpack. The journey to light is not easy but these poems have held me. I hope they hold you too.
Much love,
Jovina

It’s Dawn is a beautiful collection of poetry about love, hope, loss, change, growth, and spirituality. Vaswani shares raw truths from her heart that are both relatable and profound. I highlighted many poems and a few were so stunning they gave me goosebumps. The theme of dawn—new beginnings—was a beautiful thread in this book. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry from the soul and/or poetry for hope.

It’s Dawn is a beautiful and bright collection of poems. I love the dawn and light related imagery used throughout—it gives such a lovely feel to the words and overall theme of the book. There are themes of grief, loss, change, growth, hope, healing, love, and self-discovery within these pages, and I found many of the poems impactful and resonating. Through strong imagery and emotion, these words offer solace and hope. I also love the pretty illustrations that accompany the words! Look forward to reading more from this author.
Somewhere in my bones,
I know that the waves knocking
the air out of me will die,
and I will live.

Every once in a while,
my words launch into an orbit around you.
I do not know how to shake from my bones
this innate desire to write about you.
The poems I write do not move you.
Sometimes, you do not even read them,
and so I wonder—
do I really write for you?
Or is it all for myself?
