I was always scared to drink it. I was always scared to do anything. From garden hose water that tasted like rubber and sun to slow dancing in burning houses, Atmosphere is Ours traces one person's journey from childhood fear through the complexities of love, depression, and self-discovery. These poems live in the spaces between-between who we were and who we're becoming, between the people who shaped us and the people we choose, between drowning and learning to breathe. Raw, vulnerable, and achingly honest, this debut collection asks: What does it mean to survive yourself? And who do you become when you finally stop being afraid? Everything is struggle. Everything is miracle.
