Announcing my Book Launch

Fifteen years ago, I started this little corner of the internet to share poems, musings, and moments that felt too full to keep inside. It was never about an audience — just a need to put words to the odd magic of everyday life.

Today, I’m thrilled (and slightly terrified!) to announce that this blog, this journal — has grown into a book.

✨ Naked as a Maple Tree is my debut poetry collection.
It brings together 20 of my most personal poems — polished, reshaped, and stitched together from entries that first found life right here. These poems celebrate the quiet, stubborn beauty of ordinary moments — full of memory, mischief, and the ache of letting go.

These poems explore everything from childhood corners to burnt toast, heartbreaks to inherited silences. Some spicy truths made it in, too — because why not?

The collection is also accompanied by hand-drawn illustrations that echo the emotional heart of the poems, making this book not just something to read but something to sit with, pour into!

If you’ve ever felt too much, outgrown places, or laughed through tears — this one’s for you.
