These poems were not written at a desk. They were written in the dark, in the searching, in the aftermath of things that tried to break me — and in the grace that came after. They exist because I survived long enough to put them down.
Now I want to put them in your hands.
Not just as words on a screen — but as a physical object built to last. Just as these poems document being beaten by life and slowly, stubbornly rebuilt — the book itself will be made the same way. Leather cover. Quality paper that holds ink the way good paper should. Sewn binding that doesn't crack when you open it a hundred times. Something you pass down. Something that outlives the both of us.
That physical book doesn't exist yet. It will — because of you.
Every digital pre-order keeps the words alive and moving. Every collection purchase funds the production of something permanent. And when you eventually hold that leather copy, know that someone contributed to it who may never hold one themselves — and that contribution meant it exists at all.
Whether you ever read a single page or simply want to say "I believed in this" — you are welcome here. Every level of support is received with the same gratitude.
