Salt Lines: A Poetry Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957893631)

Salt Lines is a raw collection about survival, love, grief, and the work of coming back. These poems speak in plain words and direct images. Ocean tides, small rooms, late nights, and early mornings. Breath counts. Keys in the bowl. Light by the sink. The ordinary rituals that keep a life from slipping.

You will hear the pull of addiction and the quiet of recovery. Family by blood, and family by choice. Loss that knocks the wind out, and routines that give it back. The voice stays honest, even when it stings. Form follows feeling. Lines break where the truth needs space.

This book is for anyone who has sat awake at 3 a.m., for anyone who has returned the cart just to prove they could, for anyone learning to say no like a sentence and yes with both feet. If you have ever started over, or wanted to, these pages will meet you where you stand.

Read one poem at a time, or all in a rush. Either way, you will find a steady hand in the dark and a shore you can reach.
