In YOU, Vane Lashua takes readers on a deeply personal journey through the twists and turns of life, offering both poignant reflections and raw honesty. For over fifty years, Lashua has been promising to write a book, and YOU is the result of that promise—a collection of poetry, political essays, letters to the editor, and stories from his own life. This work captures moments of self-discovery, unexpected direction, and the realization that sometimes, life’s events unfold in a way that feels entirely random.
The title YOU came about after Lashua’s initial idea—“Accidental Tourist”—was discarded due to its overlap with a popular play and film. But as he pondered the unpredictability of his own journey, the word “YOU” emerged as a fitting reflection of his message. Through his life’s random paths, Lashua found that the biggest influence on his life was often not an external force, but himself—his own choices, thoughts, and actions.
As a young teen, Lashua was struck by a prologue poem by W. H. Auden, which spoke of life’s negative forces being assigned to another. Over the years, however, Lashua came to understand that his "overfamiliar dense companion"—the one who often stood in his way—was himself. This realization is at the heart of YOU, a contemplative work that explores how we all wrestle with our own inner obstacles and the ways we often reflect on life’s course.
YOU is a meditation on self-awareness, the passage of time, and the complexities of identity. It’s a collection that will resonate with readers who have experienced life’s randomness, the introspective struggle, and the pursuit of understanding their own place in the world.
