    About this ebook

    "if given your life once more, how would you love yourself differently?" (re)love is a poetry collection inspired by the daily struggles we face in our lives, including mental illness, self-love, inherited faith, and our shifting understanding of identity. Thematically situated around the earth and its greenery's life cycles, this collection explores concepts of spiritual growth, time, sexuality and gender, living with physical and mental health conditions, and the mystery that dwells within and among us. (re)love invites us to plant and cultivate new seeds of self-love and compassion, reminding us that "relearning is welcomed by this tender earth."

      I once lived in a yellow little house. Each morning, birds convened and sang at my bedroom window. The gate was indigo and inside the garden all kinds of flowers rose to kiss the sunny walls. The yellow nest was filled with cherished books, colourful
