Inflection Point: Poems

By Ari B. Cofer

A coming-of-age collection for anyone still becoming who they already are.

Inflection Point redefines the coming-of-age story through poems that refuse the idea that growth requires leaving your old self behind. These poems understand transformation differently: not as an exit, but as an entrance. Not as becoming someone else, but as learning how to live alongside every version of yourself.

Moving from adolescence into adulthood, this collection traces the moments that break, shape, and remake a life. Through poems that grapple with mental health, infertility, addiction recovery, love, friendship, and the deconstruction of faith, cofer returns to the turning points of a life that continue to echo long after they've passed.

This is a dialogue between past and present selves, amplifying both without allowing either the final word. It asks what it means to keep living when certainty disappears, how we carry our histories without being consumed by them, and whether healing is possible without forgetting.
