Growth VIII - Growth IX is a raw, poetic, and visionary journey through time, trauma, healing, and transformation. Devon Gillespie-also known as DelGoni-opens a portal into the lives of siblings Oliver and Sophia as they swing beneath the oak tree of their childhood, navigating addiction, shame, forgiveness, family, and the infinite pull of purpose.
This two-part volume blends memoir, poetry, fiction, and spiritual philosophy into a singular narrative voice-at times lyrical, at times blunt, always human. The dialogue is unfiltered. The dreams are vivid. The memories are sacred. As the world around them evolves, from their father's rise to President to the formation of a Sovereign Council meant to unify a broken nation, Oliver and Sophia reflect on what it means to grow, to fail, and to love.
With appearances by the artist DelGoni, a divine dog named Mercy, a tree that remembers everything, and a fly that witnesses it all, Growth VIII - Growth IX is a meditation on what it means to be alive in this moment-and how even our deepest wounds can lead to our most powerful rebirth.
This is not just a book. It's a conversation with your spirit.
It's not about being perfect-it's about being true.
