Jacqueline (Jack) Pérez is a first-time poet who, at 60, discovered the transformative power of words—even those that rhyme. Unexpectedly, after a month-long sojourn in Istanbul, Jack felt compelled to explore life’s intricacies stanza by stanza. Facing significant life moments, as we all do, she began crafting poetry in the wee hours of dawn as a means of expression and connection. Jack shares her vulnerability directly with the reader, QR code by QR code, often hiding in her closet to read these poems aloud. Metamorphosis in Stanzas is a heartfelt debut, capturing themes of love, loss, and renewal while inviting readers to embrace the beauty of change.
