THE THIRTIES — Hardcover, Special Edition

Some books you just read and is forgotten. THE THIRTIES is a book you hold onto, bound in faux leather with gold stamp with interior design on every page, and made to be kept for years or handed to someone who needs it next. A first edition meant not just to be read once, but returned to.

Inside, traditional verse moves through romantic love, spiritual awakening, and the harder work of loving yourself. This is the decade of the thirties on the page: the moment certainty falls away, and something truer starts to take its place.

At its center is a single unraveling, an ego slowly loosening its grip, making room for vulnerability most of us were never taught to speak aloud. Each poem is a door.

Walk through enough of them, and you may find yourself doing what the author hopes every reader eventually will: turning your own scars, your own quiet stories, into something worth making.
