December is supposed to sparkle, but for some of us, it hums. Too bright, too loud, too full of reminders of what's missing.
The Twelve Daze of Christmas is an advent calendar of survival: twenty-four poems tracing the slow unravel of a mind trying to make sense of the most wonderful time of the year. From office parties to empty chairs, shopping queues to quiet nights that won't end, these poems strip away the tinsel and look at what really hides beneath the glitter, exhaustion, loneliness, memory, and the small, stubborn act of carrying on.
Told in fragments, confessions, and static, this collection isn't about despair so much as endurance. It's about existing through the noise, naming the ache, and finding something human, raw, imperfect, and alive in the middle of the chaos.
Because sometimes, surviving December is the bravest thing a person can do.
You matter.
You ARE enough.
