Pen, Paper, and Heart Vol 00: Life-Preservers
What if poetry wasn’t something you wrote, but something you discovered?
In a time of overwhelming uncertainty, when the world seemed to stand still, poetry became my life preserver. Though not in the way I expected—no grand gestures, no neatly crafted verses. Instead, I found myself sifting through existing words, piecing them together like fragments of meaning in the middle of chaos.
Life Preservers is a collection born from that process. Written during a time of isolation and deep reflection, these poems were uncovered rather than created—formed through found poetry, where existing language is reshaped into something new.
