six-teen

About the Book

It started with a pink, sequined book, and the instruction to fill it with poetry. Six-teen is a collection of poetry written over the course of ten years, from age 6 till 16. Poetry began as just an extracurricular activity, but has now turned into so much more. From new homes to friends to feelings I’d never felt before, Six-teen authentically documents everything the last decade gave me. Ever since I could write, I knew it was the only thing I wanted to do. Six-teen contains not only my first every poem but also my most recent pieces. You will find yourself reading poems I wrote at the mere age of six when poetry was limited to rhymes and nature, to poems I wrote just yesterday, exploring the art of shitting. I hope my journey speaks to you enough to make it your own. Wherever this book takes you -whether it be to your childhood home or to your phone- I am excited to embark on this journey with you.
