Dear Reader,
This book of poetry is presented in a different format from many others. The lack structured sections is intentional. You can open it at any page and find a message that resonates with you.
The poems are a mixed bag, from the nostalgia of childhood to the experience of facing the many messy, painful and joyful moments in life. Living a life of metaphysical enquiry punctuated by the curious debacle of mortality looming and neurodiversity -means my life is never boring.
As I chose each one, I noticed a theme of the feminine and faith underpinning many of them. May you find one, sit with it and feel it deep in your bones.
Blessings, KB
