L. is a collection of 39 poems that explore themes of art, nature, spirituality, and the purpose and existence of human beings and other entities on Earth.The rhyming verses in the book hold deep meaning. While poems like "What Are We All?" question the meaning and existence of humanity, the poem "Primrose" describes the beauty of the primrose flower. The poem "Butterfly" vividly illustrates the emergence of a butterfly.

As in her previous poetry book, we cannot overlook the author's love for nature in this collection as well.For anyone who finds comfort and solace in nature, some poems will truly soothe your soul.
