What We Must Have Meant - Poetry Book

From now until the end of October, 4$ from each book sold will be donated to Island Sexual Health Clinic, in efforts to help keep them up and running as they are facing both imminent and active interruptions to services due to a funding shortfall.

The book is 5x7" softcover, with 130 pages. The beautiful cover art was again done by Willow Star. You can find her on instagram @runfromcapitalism <3

You can now also find my poetry book in-person at Luna Collective in Victoria BC!

I’ve spent the last four years writing this book. When I started, I thought it was going to be about love. I thought it was going to be soft.

Before you read it, I want you to know: the writing of this book has been a great comfort to me. I need to tell you that because it might not seem so as you read. So let me now assure you, the writing of this book has dragged me out of bed, opened the curtains, found my keys, tied my shoes. And It has walked with me through addiction, grief, heartache (and other chronic illness) through recovery, reunion, death, and not one time throughout any of it did it so much as wince.

I hope you might find a sliver of that comfort in my sometimes uncomfortable re-tellings. I hope you find the soft love I had meant for it all to be. I hope this book, at its worst, can sit with you in the heavy dark of your living room at 2am, and at its best, can carry you to bed when you fall asleep on the couch.

If the price makes the book inaccessible to you, please contact me, and I will do my best to send you a gift copy :)
