Kyarra Ross, hailing from bustling Montreal, Quebec, channels her vibrant inner world into her debut poetry collection, "The Water Fountain is Empty." In just twenty four years, she encapsulates a lifetime's worth of experiences, weaving tales of resilience and introspection. Each poem serves as an homage to the trials and triumphs of her youth, symbolized by the drained water fountain—a metaphor for lost innocence and enduring hope. Through her words, Ross invites readers to navigate the depths of her emotions and emerge with a newfound understanding of life's complexities.
