The Silence of Nouns

There is a silence that wounds-and a silence that heals. This book is the journey between them.The Silence of Nouns is a modern poetry collection about survival, dissociation, longing, return, and the fierce reclamation of self. Through the architecture of rooms, ribs, blueprints, constellations, and breath, Leanne Sheetz maps the internal landscape of a life rebuilt from the inside out.These poems move through the rooms we survived, the quiet that hollowed us, the hunger that wasn't love, the patterns we learned to see in the dark, and the woman who finally steps back into her own light.This is not a story of breaking. It is a story of remembering. A story of returning. A story of becoming.For anyone who has ever swallowed their own name just to stay alive- this book is a map back home.
