Shelby Rose: I Wrote This Instead of Sleeping, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

I Wrote This Instead of Sleeping is a raw, intimate poetry and memoir-in-fragments collection about heartbreak, insomnia, and the slow, unglamorous work of becoming whole again.

Written in the quiet hours of early 2020, this book follows one woman's journey through shattering, ruins, echo, and rise-capturing the kind of truths you only realize when the world is silent and you are finally alone with yourself.

For readers who love modern poetry collections like milk and honey , Pillow Thoughts , and Home Body, this is poetry about healing, late-night thoughts, and emotional survival-where softness becomes strength and reflection becomes resistance.

This is not a story told in a straight line.

It is a poetic memoir for women who have lived through heartbreak, uncertainty, and loneliness-and are learning how to carry themselves gently through it.

Honest. Messy. Tender.

A reminder that healing is not a straight line-and surviving is its own kind of poetry.
