Words of a Girl UNSPOKEN

"I didn't know I was keeping record - not of events, but of becoming."Words of a Girl UNSPOKEN is a collection of 30 poems about becoming, loving, noticing, and learning how to live unhidden.Moving through childhood, friendship, queerness, grief, and self-recognition, Charlotte Dungate writes with tenderness, precision, and quiet force. These poems hold the small and the seismic together: social anxiety and softness, family stories and private rupture, everyday endurance and the slow work of becoming fully yourself.Drawing on her professional background within the NHS and Mind, Dungate traces the delicate architecture of memory through vivid, intimate details - coffee stains, bike wheels, laughter, silence - asking what stays with us, and what it means to be shaped by care, pain, and love.This is a collection about resilience without performance, identity without spectacle, and the courage it takes to be seen clearly. At once gentle and defiant, this collection is for readers drawn to poetry that finds depth in the everyday and meaning in what lingers.Perfect for readers of contemporary poetry rooted in tenderness, memory, and self-discovery.
