Red Corner: A Poetry Collection

by Dawn Web, Salwa (Producer)

Red Corner is not merely a poetry book. It is a story about the human condition: the inexplicable moments that are held in beauty, the everlasting treacherous nights, the alluring uncertainty, vastly convoluted experiences and the unique nature of individuals, inherently, making us one and the same.

Written and illustrated by Dawn Web, photographed by Angelina Wrona and published by Vivid Illusion Creative Studios Inc. Red Corner is part one of the collection Primary Series and showcases their poem "Flashbacks" which is also featured in Fathom Editorial (Creative Writing Journal). Dawn's raw and vulnerable tone explores themes of identity, queer and political issues, love, growth, perseverance, and navigating intergenerational trauma aftermath to crack open the cycle. They strive to bring individuals closer to themselves and others through art.
