Synopsis

Murmuration is a year's worth of emotions, anxious thoughts, and panic attacks, each one a beating wing in the mind of the author.

This book is an attempt to create something beautiful from this chaos; to make sense of the things we dare not breathe to life. Focusing on loss, heartbreak, mental health, and the impact of isolation on a tired mind, these poems are the starlings that gather above the water. These pages are the hope that we can learn to heal; that the future can survive the past.
