One night, after reading Rupi Kaur’s ‘The Sun and her Flowers’ I realized that poetry had just satisfied a part of me that food never could. I wrote down a small poem that night, and one by one over the course of a few months they began to trickle out of me. Inspired by others I saw self-publishing I decided to do the same and to create something that represented a period of pain yet beauty, healing and expression in my life. If you ever find my book in your hands, I hope it serves you in some small way.
