About the Book Thirty-Three: A Poetic Device is a poetry journal. Journaling has always been a creative and therapeutic outlet for us as women. We wrote in diaries as young girls, and now we have something for the thirty-three-year-old version of ourselves. Authors Angelica Howard and Ajia Z. Johnson let the poetic emotions of their younger selves motivate them to create this poetic device with the intention to inspire and provoke thought no matter how good, bad, or ugly that may be; journaling helps to get it out. Howard and Johnson encourage readers to honor their own thoughts through the journal prompts. Life is what you make it, and when you are intentional about your desires, by writing them down and making them plain, magic happens.
