Bruised Fruit: Poems on love and rage

How do you live in a world that breaks your heart and still choose to love it anyway?

This debut poetry collection is a raw, intimate reckoning with the many contradictions of being alive - and feeling everything too much. These poems unravel the complexity of loving deeply while living in a world that too often silences, wounds, and dismisses. They speak from the mouth of someone whose heart is soft but scorched, whose faith in beauty fights to coexist with a burning sense of injustice.

Messy, visceral, and unafraid interspersed with creative narrative poems, these pages explore what it means to be both nurturer and rebel, dreamer and dissenter. The speaker is not polished or perfect - she is haunted, hungry, and human. She is trying to make sense of the wreckage and the wonder, and she invites you to come with her.

For those who feel everything too deeply.
