Billie Bioku, who will graduate this month from Boston College Law School, has published two books of poetry. We Ponder: Unsettled Minds (Archway Publishing, 2023), Bioku’s debut poetry collection, is a reflection of classic poetry with abstract concepts that touches on subjects such as love, spirituality/religion, heartbreak, mental illness, and more. “I want readers to know that they are not alone in the experiences they go through, and that I hope this book helps them to become more vulnerable with themselves and others,” said Bioku. Her second collection, Untethered Grounds (Archway Publishing, 2023), focuses on elemental properties, society, self, and humanity.
