Product Information

my biggest fear is that we were meant to be. what if we were wrong, and we missed out on all the ways we were supposed to love each other. what if timing and space was just an excuse that we used to separate two hearts that beat simultaneously. maybe we are going to live the rest of our lives watching the wrong story unfold.”

I think poetry has always been something that’s really natural for me. I have ADHD so I feel like my thoughts kind of come in small bursts of inspiration rather than one novel of inspiration. And so I think that’s part of the reason that poetry comes more naturally to me. But, it wasn’t something I was really pursuing. Being an author wasn’t something that had been a life goal for me. It was a side passion project that I always worked on, It was a way of coping with things. It became this thing where I don’t really know how I got here.” What is your favorite book? From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey and the sun and her flowers comes her greatly anticipated third collection of poetry. i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more.Stormy is when the storms are unleashed within you. This section is sadness and heartbreak that accompanies lost love.Foggy is about losing your identity. The storm may have passed, but after heart break we often go through a process of redefining ourself.Sunny is a glimpse of joy and new love. It is the feeling of butterflies in your heart and sun on your skin. Climate is a reminder that all of the weather we encounter creates this beautiful experience that is life. It is a section of appreciation for both the rainy and sunny days.“ What is something you learned about yourself after writing these two books? I’ve learned the power of vulnerability. I feel like I grew up always hiding my feelings and that’s probably why I ended up writing them all down. I never understood how important it is to be vulnerable with people. It connects you to the whole world to be vulnerable with other people.” Do you find it harder to write when you’re not going through a difficult/emotional experience? I grew up in rural Montana. So that’s where I call home, but I go to school in South Carolina right now.” When did you first start writing?

I guess this wasn’t just my cup of tea. I wish there was mention that it’s not only poetry BUT ALSO quotes / poetry prose, because one sentence is not poetry for me. And this book, as much as I wanted to like it, I really couldn't. It was just boring and disappointing. I feel that it's just the second version of "Home", which I also read, but that one I wouldn't even call poetry - it was more like a diary and love advices, than poems.When I started writing it I was lost in so many areas of my life. I had just gotten out of a romantic relationship, so I was in a really rough spot with heartbreak. But I was also really unsure of my direction in life, what I was pursuing, and unsure of who I am. I think part of that was going to college and having to redefine my identity on my own terms. Homewas kind of me finding myself again after all that I’d been through. That’s why I titled it Home.“ How did your writing process change after your first book was published? but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life.
