It was there—on the land by the Bay of Fundy, with the highest tides in the world—that every stitch of every seam began to unravel. My body had been screaming for years under the weight of what I had stored.

In the depths of human experience, where shadows loom and light flickers, lies the terrain of the soul. This collection of poems is a journey through that landscape, a navigation of the complexities of love, the ache of loss, and the darkness that can both consume and transform us. The poems that follow are fragments of a life lived, moments captured and rendered into verse. They are the echoes of whispers in the night, the cries of a heart both broken and remade. Love, in all its forms, is a recurring theme – its beauty, its brutality, its capacity to both heal and harm.
