Author Miles Goodwin celebrates and explores LGBTQ+ themes with personal depth, sensitivity, and authenticity

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inspired by his coming-of-age years, as an LGBTQ+ youth, author Miles Goodwin offers a collection of poems that explore the concepts and ideals in life and love in his new book, "It's Not All Roses."

Described as "challenging, sensual, and heartfelt," Goodwin's verses lead readers through the formative years of young adulthood and how this time shapes perspectives on love in all its dimensions.

While lyrically framing the musings of present-day youth, each poem is crafted to bridge the gap between the old soul and young body while reminding readers the importance of inclusiveness and unconditional love for all of humanity.

"I wrote my book to be a testament to the universal experiences of young people navigating the joys and complexities of love and self-discovery," Goodwin said. "Each poem captures the raw emotions of growing up, inviting readers to board a poetic journey that may resonate with their personal stories, dreams, and aspirations."

In addition, Goodwin strives to share his book as a testament to the power of words and celebrating diversity by embracing the LGBTQ+ community. He invites his readers to recognize and honor love in all forms, promoting inclusivity, understanding, and acceptance.

"As we embark on this poetic journey together," Goodwin said. "Let us remember that love knows no boundaries. Each verse offers an opportunity to celebrate our shared humanity. I hope to inspire conversations, spark connections, and foster a world where love is celebrated in all its beautiful manifestations."
