TowardsWhat Hurt

a ceremony in poems

A collection of poems written across years of survival, illness, grief, love, memory, and return. For the hurt and the healed. For the survivors and the seekers. Made to be held, read slowly, returned to.

Only eight exist

The Collector’s
Edition

It holds everything in the preorder — the signed copy, the audio, the print — and one thing more.

An original painting, made during the process of arriving at the cover. One of only eight that exist, each marked on the back by the hand that made it. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

What this book is.

Towards What Hurt is the work of many years — written through grief, through healing, through the slow practice of turning toward instead of away.

It is meant to be read the way it was written: not all at once, but as a ceremony. A few poems at a time. Whatever you can hold.

Healing in a world
that would prefer me hurt.
