Soft Things Don't Break is a poetry chapbook about losing oneself in love and finding one's voice again.
Moving through four sections - Silence, Fracture, Awakening, and Voice - the collection traces the emotional arc of relationships marked by shifting boundaries, contradiction, and conditional affection. It explores what it means to be told you are too much and not enough in the same breath, to adjust to moving goalposts, and to slowly disappear in the name of devotion.
Through restrained, contemporary free verse and short prose interludes, the book examines gaslighting, body shaming, spiritual pressure, independence, desire, and self-worth. But it does not remain in fracture.
At its core, this is a story of reclamation.
It is about learning what love is not - so that real love, beginning with self, can arrive intact.
