KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 – Adriana Ghafar, the first runner-up of the 2019 Dewi Remaja competition and a rising star in Malaysia, is poised to release her debut poetry collection, “Everything In Between”. The collection, eagerly awaited by fans and literary enthusiasts alike, will be available for pre-order soon, with an official launch date set for 15 June. Adriana’s entry into the literary world marks a significant step in her mission to democratise poetry, making it accessible and relatable to everyone. “In the past, poetry has often been seen as old-fashioned and reserved for the intellectual elite,” said Adriana.
“I hope to break this perception and make poetry mainstream, encouraging young, budding poets to share their work openly.” Her collection, featuring a mix of Malay and English poems, explores universal themes of love, family, rejection, and resilience. It includes interactive elements like flipbook animation and augmented reality, creating an engaging experience for readers. Priced at RM48, “Everything In Between” will be offered in three limited edition covers, each autographed by Adriana, and available for pre-order at adthebuku.com.
