Slamming Doors and Empty Drawers
Debut Poetry Collection
Slamming Doors and Empty Drawers takes readers through the aftermath of a breakup. The collection focuses on the raw emotion and grief that effect us all when we lose someone for the first time, as well as dealing with the reactions we are not always proud of. Starting with the bitter close of a relationship, readers are able to see the tumultuous nature of an end as well as the eventual healing.
"And then we're lip to lip as you
push me into the tree where you immortalised us
The pressure a relief I hope leave scars
Anything real
tangible for me to hold on to"
