Kate Margaret Luke's between lines & pages, is a collection of poetry and prose about love, self-acceptance, loss, and trying to find one's place in our ever-changing and sometimes bizarre world. The book is divided into four sections, and each section explores a duality of life. The first section covers self- hate versus self-love. The second section focuses on relationships with friends, family, and loves--it has the overall theme of logic versus emotion. The third section is a nod to fiction versus reality, with poems about books, writing, and finding oneself in pages of literature. The fourth and final section is essentially a conglomeration of different topics. For instance, how the world is yours to change, how people should act towards one another (with kindness), and how it is okay to hope and dream for better. This collection of poems is written specifically for teenagers and young adults, who are in-between a lot of things in their life. It is raw and unfiltered, with the terrifying yet fantastical moments one experiences as they develop and grow. It talks about the world with current events, and includes identity, feminisms, and the idea of fair treatment for all.
