OTHER THAN SADNESS POETRY BY KHARLA BRILLO

About OTHER THAN SADNESS

 

 

Kharla Brillo's debut book of poetry, Other Than Sadness, is a collection of raw and poignant poems taking on the deep subtleties of losing, finding, and loving oneself.

 

Written within a span of two years, her words will take you to underground pathways and doors wrapped in cobwebs and aching. Where people come in knocking and falling and breaking things. Where you no longer think of your darkness as different from your light, but as a part and a whole of you that was only asking for a way out.

About the AUTHOR

 

Kharla is a 21 year old poet from Manila, Philippines. Perhaps in age and at night, she started writing late, with her work being mainly published at midnight hour on her blog, Pouvoires. Several of her articles also appeared in Philippine Daily Inquirer and Thought Catalog. She majored in Psychology and Literature back in college, two things that make her question the world over and over, hoping it answers back. She's currently taking her Master's Degree in UP Diliman.
