Lullabies

What it feels like

Structured like a musical composition, this collection offers a deeply intimate exploration of romance, heartbreak, and the quiet spaces in between. The reading experience is inherently leisurely; it is a book meant to be kept on a nightstand and opened when the house is quiet. The language is deceptively simple, stripping away dense metaphors to deliver raw, universally recognizable feelings of longing and nostalgia. It feels wistful and soothing, wrapping the reader in a melancholic but comforting embrace that validates the messy realities of loving someone. Fans of modern, accessible poetry will find themselves dog-earing pages, finding solace in the realization that their most private, aching emotions have been beautifully articulated by someone else.
