A Play On Words is a poetry collection born from the need for reinvention. After two years of therapeutic, non-prescribed writing, Nessie Loughty began to notice a recurring theme in her work: performance. What we say, how we act, and who we pretend to be.
She shaped her poems into a loose storyline using wit and a deliberate lack of grace, which made the whole thing painfully relatable. A self-aware, ironic, and-honestly speaking-emotionally draining poetry collection. It moves through grief and heartbreak, the collapse of old selves, and the uncomfortable act of evaluating the past in search of hope.
Highly inspired by music, particularly artists such as Taylor Swift, Sleep Token, and Bastille, A Play On Words reads like a confessional soundtrack: sharp, intimate, and unafraid to expose everyone's performance beneath what we call survival.
