we were never o̶n̶ earth is a queer, androgynous myth of soul-split longing. It's a poetry collection for anyone who's ever felt unfinished in their body, or haunted by a love that transcends names, lifetimes, and gender.
Written in a voice that blurs binaries, between flesh and spirit, grief and devotion, the sacred and the profane, Mirabela Căpîlna's work is a ritual in verse.
These poems excavate identity, memory, reincarnation, and trauma with a scalpel's edge and a lover's tenderness. They speak to non-binary bodies and the ache of being half of something whole.
Ideal for readers of confessional poetry, gender-expansive myth, and spiritually queer love stories, this collection carries echoes of ancient heartbreak and cosmic reunion.
If you've ever searched for yourself in another (or felt like you were written in the wrong skin) this book is your mirror. Your map. Your memory.
For fans of Ocean Vuong, Yrsa Daley-Ward, and non-binary spirituality, we were never on earth is not just poetry. It's remembrance.
