n a world often obsessed with answers, Vane Lashua dares to ask better questions. His book You , published by Author’s Tranquility Press, is not a traditional memoir, nor merely a collection of poems—it’s a kaleidoscopic meditation on the human experience. With over five decades of writing behind him, Lashua invites readers into a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of love, loss, memory, and the quiet revelations tucked inside everyday life. You unfolds across 75+ chapters of poetic and prose-rich reflections, each one a window into Lashua’s richly lived life. From childhood memories and failed relationships to patriotism, politics, and the rhythm of a bicycle race, the book is a masterful blend of whimsy and profundity. In one piece, he deconstructs gravity as a metaphor for love; in another, he offers a dry-witted flowchart of job hunting and existential dread. The result is a literary mosaic that feels less like a lecture and more like a whispered confession shared over coffee.
