What I Meant When I Said I’m Fine

“How are you?”
I’m lost. I’m scared. I’m on the edge. I’m falling. I’m drowning.
“I’m fine.”

What I Meant When I Said I’m Fine is a collection of poems exploring themes such as hidden suffering, grief, isolation, abuse, identity, shame, stigma, neurodivergence, courage, freedom, growth, and hope. It was published in 2022.

A collection of the relatable, beautiful, messy emotions of navigating identity, mental health, and inner peace. I think a lot of people will see themselves in this work.

There is both darkness and light in this collection and I really admire how authentic the expression is. Congratulations to the author on a stunning debut.

A raw and honest look at what those dealing with mental health issues deal with in private… a relatable collection for others looking for solace in someone like them.
