Cocoons to Wings
The Journey of Comfort to Renewal
We proudly present Cocoons to Wings: The Journey of Comfort to Renewal—YACSO Foundation’s very first poetry anthology.
This collection is for anyone who has ever felt confined by fear, familiarity, or self-doubt. Through moving poems on Comfort, Confinement, Courage, and Renewal, these writers remind us that growth begins when we dare to step beyond what is comfortable.
Born from the Yemipoet Monthly Contest (June 2025 Edition), this anthology celebrates young voices writing with truth, purpose, and courage.
Key Anthology Themes
Zero Hunger Anthology
Compiled from the Yemipoet Poetry Contest Entries
The poems in this anthology are not mainly creative writings; they are petitions for justice, compassion, and collective action.
Every page is intended to remind us that behind the statistics are somebody’s parent, our friends, real families, and real dreams waiting for the opportunity to blossom. We hope the 190 poems embedded in this anthology will prove that poetry can entertain as well as educate, challenge, and inspire change.
