This is a collection shaped by absence - by the things that were said too late, or never at all. It explores the quiet weight of grief, not just in loss, but in change, distance, and the slow realisation that nothing stays the same.
These poems sit with the kind of sadness that doesn't demand attention but lingers anyway. The kind that shows up in ordinary moments - in familiar places that feel different, in conversations that don't go the way they used to, in memories that soften but never fully fade.
There is longing here. For people, for time, for versions of life that no longer exist. But there is also acceptance, fragile and incomplete.
Because sometimes moving forward doesn't mean letting go.
Sometimes it just means learning how to carry it.
