Creative writing: through her eyes - tales of the heart / Nur Iman Irdina Mohd Azmir and Shahira Adam

The project Through Her Eyes: Tales of the Heart is an e-book collection of poetry and prose prompted by quotes from books that hold the greatest meaning and aspire to inspire others. The objective of this e-book is to elicit emotions towards readers as a platform to relate their thoughts and feelings, as well as to insinuate an emotional effect using the medium of poetry as creative expression. The e-book revolves around love and the loss of it, followed by sentiments of growing up and finding ourselves in the hopes that the endearing words would appeal to the soul of anyone who is on this voyage. According to Voutiritsas (2021), reading and writing poetry can help to connect with and better understand ourselves because the practise incentivises mindfulness, exists to serve as an outlet for expression, and can even allow readers to connect with others as there is likely a poem or prose that will resonate with anyone at any stage of life. It is intended to become a healing piece for those who seek it. This project was conducted based on surveys to gather the readers’ preferences in producing two editions: digital e-book and audiobook which can be purchased through a premium subscription, with special sneak peeks offered on Instagram and the Wix website.
