Murmuration

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

Fans are saying: "Beautiful inside and out", "Lovingly designed", "One of the best poetry books I've read so far."

Murmuration 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.
