unclenched: a collection of whispers beneath the skin thought

unclenched is a collection of thirty-one poems that moves through the mind, the emotions, the rooms we inherit, and the body that carries all of it. Organised into four parts: Whispers Beneath the Mind, eMotions, Rooms We Were Told Not to Enter, and Whispers Through the Body. The collection follows a single thread: the slow, unglamorous work of learning to feel something all the way through instead of flinching away from it. These poems do not offer answers. They offer language for what most of us feel and rarely say aloud: the anger that arrives before we understand it, the grief that keeps its own schedule, the quiet choice to meet a storm with calm instead of another storm. unclenched is not a manual for healing. It is a map drawn in whispers, for anyone learning, one poem at a time, how to come undone and put themselves back together anyway.
