For Better and For Verse

Life rarely asks whether we are ready before giving us something to write about. This collection of poems gathers the feelings that linger long after a conversation ends, a person leaves, or an ordinary day becomes a memory. Moving through love, longing, heartbreak, hope, and self-discovery, these poems find their way into the untidy business of being human. There is tenderness here, but also humour. There are questions without answers and moments that ask only to be felt. Some poems reach for what has been lost. Others lean towards laughter, beginning again, or sitting quietly with what remains. Together, they offer company to anyone who has ever felt too much and struggled to say enough.
