The Seed From Which I Bloomed
-
The Seed From Which I Bloomed is a dreamy collection of poems that blend together reality and magic, touching on themes of self-reflection, mental health, mystical folklore, and the different types of love in life. It acts as an acknowledgement to the people, experiences, and places, both ethereal and material, that connect together to form the seed of who we are, and how we learn to grow and flourish from those roots.
The book as a whole is an intimate journey through the phases of sleep, taking you through very real but whimsical landscapes and imagery, towards eerily familiar but imaginary worlds. From front to back, it is like drifting off into the subconscious, but back to front feels like awaking from a dream, being plunged back to waking life.
A matured leap from Teneva’s first passion project, "The Seed From Which I Bloomed" acts a continuation and poetic revision of “Moral Compass.”

Moral Compass
-
Moral Compass is a collection of poems brought together to narrate dreams, depict family dynamics, and retell folklore. The mystical meets reality with the musings of psychological and philosophical renderings of political tension, personal struggle, modern day absurdities, and of course, love.
The original collection was first published in December of 2018. In 2019, The United Macedonian Diaspora hosted a reading of Moral Compass in coordination with Generation M. In the same year, Generation M featured the collection of poetry in an article about the book and author. The passion project later gained a small spotlight from Voice of America's Macedonian sector.
Fast forward to 2023, the book was re-released as a second edition, featuring a new cover as well as a few changes to the original collection.
