Flowers Are People, Too Part II: Reality is written by Joseph Nano, a Syrian-American author, Boston College Endowed Scholar, and recipient of the 2017 Nicholas H. Woods Award at Boston College. Nano learned how to write poetry from his English class at Falmouth High School in Maine. In 2016, he decided to write his first book of poetry to share his experience as a Syrian immigrant with his high school friends. Flowers Are People, Too is a book series, beginning with a poetry book of the same name, released in June 2016.

This book gives insight into Middle Eastern culture and some of the global challenges in today's world. Nano graduated from Boston College in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Biology BS and Neuroscience BS. He hopes to continue writing poetry and become a very successful surgeon someday.
