Tinta Hati: Inked from the Heart

By Nurain M. Zulkepli

Not to be weak.
This life teaches us to be resilient and determined,
Not to lose hope and give up.
This life is created to be bold.
You fail, you fall, you move forward . . .
Nurain Zulkepli

In a bilingual collection of inspirational poems and accompanying illustrations, Nurain Zulkepli lyrically explores manifested feelings while reflecting on natures beauty and interpreting life and the meaning of living.

Nurain divides her work into three parts that poetically transport others through universal issues of humanity, love, and human character. While examining relatable topics such as the value of finding gratitude for the simple gifts in life, the fear of losing love, the cycle of the human heart, and why it is important to stay grounded in virtues and character, Nurain offers a timeless message of love and humanity that teaches others to never lose hope and that God is always there for us.

Tinta Hati: Inked from the Heart shares poems and illustrations from a fresh voice that explores humanity, faith, love, and the beauty of nature.
