Breaking down the poem.

As most of you know, my new poetry collection Good Grief released just a few weeks ago. One of the most common questions I get from readers is, “I interpret this in my own way, but I’d like to hear more about your perspective when you wrote it”. So, I thought this would make for a beautiful re-entry into my newsletter. I’ve been taking some much-needed space and am ready to return to writing here; thank you for sticking around in the meantime!

I want to talk about the most popular poem in my book. This seems to be the one that gets the most traction and honestly, I’m really grateful that it’s lived up to its purpose.

The picture reads,

“there are people waiting to meet you.

people waiting to love you.

there are places that stand still

until you’ve stepped foot in them.

something really beautiful

could happen for you in the morning.

there is so much waiting for your arrival.

arrive there.”
