Leaning In: A collection of poems

By Celeste Turner

What does it mean to exist when the world feels too vast, too broken, and too quiet all at once?
Leaning in is a raw, deeply moving poetry collection by Celeste Turner that chronicles a soul's journey through the spaces between the seen and the unseen. Written with stark vulnerability and a fierce, unconventional wit, these verses act as a mirror to the modern human condition-capturing the moments we feel utterly shattered and the quiet, stubborn triumphs of coming back to ourselves.
Divided into three distinct, evocative movements, Turner guides readers through a shifting emotional landscape: Act I: Invisible World explores the ache for an authentic voice, ancestral whispers, and the thin veil between spiritual awakening and madness.Act II: Broken World confronts the isolation of global lockdown, the irreplaceable magic of human consciousness, and the heavy, collective trauma of a society losing its way.Act III: Tangled Heart dives fearlessly into the wreckage of love, the dizzying trap of quantum-entangled relationships, and the grueling work of unlearning survival lies to make room for eternal truth.Perfect for readers of modern, confessional poetry, Leaning in refuses to hide behind "the fluffy stuff." It is an invitation to unpack your own poetic suitcase, sit with the discomfort of being devastatingly alone, and ultimately find the joy required to keep afloat.
Lean in. Listen close. You are not alone in the void.
