Nova Scotia-based elite multi-discipline cyclist Mackenzie Myatt\'s first book of poetry, In Defense of Big Dreams, is all about life as an athlete and a creative soul.
I hope this book inspires you to do the same..
I didn\'t want to tweak the rules, I wanted to chuck them out the window.
Something had to change and in that, I tried to change as many things as possible.
This book came at a time in my life when I decided to stop taking the path of least resistance and trust myself.
It\'s amazing what can happen when you consistently show up for yourself and take chances.
I want to inspire not just girls and women through sport, but everyone to act on their potential, Myatt says.
I wrote In Defense of Big Dreams because I wanted to share what makes me tick and how to harness it.
While the target demographic is young women, people of all ages will appreciate the stories contained in these pages.
The design elements were carefully chosen to enhance each poem, and the collection focuses on topics ranging from self-confidence to sport to body image, and everything in between.
In Defense of Big Dreams contains more than 50 of cyclist Mackenzie Myatt\'s poems along with gorgeous layouts with photos shot by Artúr Sagát.
