Mikaela Kasiala's Red Ink Is What I Think is here to speak loud and unfiltered. In this head-turning poetry collection, verses spit truth, pulse with rhythm, and pull no punches. It's hip-hop swagger meets raw survival—a lyrical journey through pain, power, and personal truth.
Kasiala, a seasoned artist and wordsmith, brings years of lyrical experience to the page. The result? Poems that move, shout, remember, and reclaim. Her voice isn't afraid to touch the heat of the city or dive into the inner wars of identity and endurance. Each poem is an anthem in its own right, fueled by honesty, driven by rhythm, and wrapped in emotion.
Whether it's the hustle of the street, the ache of ambition, or the pride of making it out alive, Kasiala writes with a pulse that mirrors real life. Her words resonate with anyone who has ever had to fight, dream, lose, love, or stand back up again.
If you've ever found healing in music or clarity in chaos, this collection is for you. Red Ink Is What I Think is now available on Amazon.
