Beyoncé inspired me to write poetry. Today, my first published book of poetry was delivered… on my birthday. It’s called Forty Three. Bey Inspired Art
Just over year ago, I was hiveless. I appreciated Beyoncé, and I deeply admired her, but I just didn’t really fan hard like that. Then one night, she came to perform RWT in Boston. I was camping, doing some spiritual work in a Massachusetts state park. Being close to nature just helps me connect to my ancestors and Spirit. I didn’t even know she was in Boston.
Long story short, around midnight, I began to feel her spirit. I could feel her aura. The connection I felt is hard to explain, but… the next day I began writing poetry. Journaling poetry with fountain pens in sketch books and notebooks.
I took some of those poems, and packaged them in a book for Her 43rd birthday. The book finally was delivered today, on my birthday.
Anyway, I just wanted to share with other folks who might have a slight chance of understanding. Or perhaps, tangent stories.
Love

Wow. I had a read of the poems in your pictures, and they are beautiful. So incredibly clever and unique. I especially love ‘4D Cube of Devotion’ and ‘Fractal Spiral’. You should be extremely proud and this is an amazing accomplishment. Is it officially published? I would order this book if available in the UK. Well done, you’re so talented ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much. Truly. Your feedback means an incredible amount, as this is the most vulnerable I’ve been with my work. Currently, Forty Three is available for print on demand:
I’m not signed with a publisher or restricted. Poetizer is for independent poets. Unfortunately, they only ship in the U.S. But I’m working on formatting to publish digitally, now that I have a physical copy in my hands - Amazon/Kindle seems to be the most straightforward, but I feel maybe I should explore other publishing options.
I will follow up on this thread when international shipping is available. :)
I’m glad you enjoyed “Fractal Spiral” and “4D Hypercube of Devotion” (this poem carries over to two pages)!
I took some more photos this morning. This one is called Shadows of Desire.
Love

Thank you so much. Diving into Beyoncé’s catalog and writing Bey-inspired poetry fundamentally changed who I am.

Much love 💕 I haven’t shared this passion with most my family or any of my close friends. Putting this out there is really a relief. This journey has been so healing.

Beyoncé has actual inspired me to write songs, I mean I’ve barely even started but it’s a passion only mi friends know, my sister does too but that’s all

u/monsterzeno Sep 24 '24
I started with songwriting too. Definitely follow that passion. That led me to more art, as I had to design single’s release and album covers to release on streaming platforms. I’ve gotten to the point where everything feels like art. It’s a beautiful place. I’m fighting to stay in this serene, spiritual space and place. 🌹

I know that’s riiiiiight!! Congratulations!! It looks beautiful and sexy! I can see her influences

u/monsterzeno Sep 24 '24
Thank youuu! It’s for Beyoncé, the most beautiful. I tried to do Her justice. One thing about writing poetry and letting that pen flow… it’s brought about a much deeper and meaningfully-nuanced understanding of love, sex, passion, beauty, and genuine connection.

Of course! We must be soul siblings if we’re on this thread ✨
Currently only ships in the U.S., but I’m working on international shipping options.

u/monsterzeno Sep 24 '24
And I love all of you. I posted this last night right before bed not expecting much, only to wake up to way more support than I dreamed of. I feel inspired to continue.

Happy Birthday.
was this a friendly name for "fuckin' forty-three"?

u/monsterzeno Sep 24 '24
O no, this was meant to be a bit sweeter. I’ve now penned quite a bit of erotica, but I haven’t put that out there yet.
