Letters to A Young Poetess is the updated and feminized version of Rilke's Letters To Young Poet. 50+ pages of writing mentorship and beyond!

Over a year, in the middle of a pandemic in NYC, the 10 letters were from author Kiki T. (The Celestial Sexpot's Handbook, ANGST) and her mentee--paired through Girls Write Now, a 25-year-old NYC non-profit that pairs young aspiring writers with professional writers. The letters are about writing: finding your voice, staying true to it and veering off to the myriad of struggles in finding a place in the world amid the racism, misogyny, rejection, etc.

Letters To A Young Poetess's aim is to inspire, help reveal the poetess in everyone and to reinforce enjoying life's beauty, absurdities and obstacles, and to take creative license in every aspect.

Having gone from secret poet, like her mentee, to published poet, to freelance writer, columnist, and author, Kiki knows every rung up the aspiration ladder. From 4 cents a word to owning her junior penthouse in the Manhattan skies, she is living proof that the impossible is possible and passes on what she knows in Letters To A Young Poetess.

Kiki's columns appeared around the world, including: Teen Vogue, NY Post Page Six Magazine, Playgirl, TheFrisky.com, Twist, JANE, Girlfriend (AU), Scarlet UK, Cosmopolitan For Latinas, Flaunt (CA), etc., seen on: The BBC, NBC's Daily Connection, Tyra, etc., winner of a SXSW award and hosted and wrote web-series on LifetimeTV.com, and LOOK TV. The Celestial Sexpot's Handbook (Hachette) is her astral opus and ANGST! (Workman) is from her award-winning teen website PlanetKiki.com.
