The Book of Imaginary Beliefs (2026)

Author: Lala Bohang

Category: Poetry

Earth is blue, fragile, light, and not a star. And we're part of it, not just living on it. Earth is a battle ground where all species constantly face an invisible war. And we're the main actor of growth, destruction, and peace. Someone's precious is someone else's garbage. Someone's interest is someone else's boredom. Someone principle is someone else's violation. Someone's contentment is someone else's pressure. Someone's recipe for immunity is someone else's cause of death. Either you're the "someone" or the "someone else".

"Written and illustrated entirely by Lala Bohang, Imaginary Belief is a love letter to the power of imagination. Every word, every drawing, and every strange and wonderful world within its pages was created by her own hand—a gentle reminder to trust the worlds you imagine. The world will catch up later." —Hermawan Tanzil, Founder of LeBoYe Graphic Design Studio
