Rooms We Grew Into

In these poems, memory becomes a living thing - found in kitchens and bedrooms, in whispered stories, slammed cupboards, half-sung songs, and quiet 3 a.m. thoughts. Moving between childhood and adulthood, grief and tenderness, exhaustion and love, this collection traces the invisible threads that bind families together. Each poem listens closely to the ordinary moments that shape us: a hand finding another in the dark, a bowl scraped clean, a song that won’t quite fade. These are poems about belonging and becoming - and about learning how to carry what we inherit.
