Some stories cannot be told directly.
They arrive disguised as dying stars, abandoned houses, forgotten animals, childhood monsters, quiet roads, and ordinary objects carrying impossible weight. They speak in symbols because reality is sometimes too sharp to hold in bare hands.
The Things I couldn't Name is a literary collection that explores the landscapes of grief, trauma, mental illness, love, memory, faith, identity, and survival. Each poem stands on its own while contributing to a larger journey-one that moves through collapse, endurance, and the possibility of becoming something new.
The poems do not promise easy resolutions. Instead, they invite readers to recognize themselves in the hidden language of metaphor, where destruction can become transformation and even the darkest night still belongs to a sky full of stars.
For those who have lived with invisible battles, searched for belonging, or found beauty in broken places, this collection offers both reflection and quiet company.
Sometimes the things we cannot say are the things we understand most deeply. Sometimes, we have to speak in metaphors.
