Poems Pave Our Lives – Book 2 continues Miranda Yeoh's acclaimed poetry series, following the award-winning first book that received the "Difference Maker" award and two honorable mentions.
This greatly expanded collection offers 63 poems — nearly double the number in Volume 1 — blending lightly edited favorites, deeply transformed works, and entirely new pieces. It also introduces fresh sections that celebrate Penang, the author's beloved home, capturing its culture, food, and memorable places in luminous verse.
With her signature clarity and heartfelt insight, Yeoh reflects on the milestones and challenges that have shaped her life: a modest childhood, a dedicated academic career, health issues, and profound reflections on social and global issues. Whether you are a long-time poetry lover or simply seeking words that encourage, uplift, and inspire, this book offers both art and companionship. Step into these pages — and let the poems pave your way forward.
