Where the Static Settles
How do you find your true voice when the world has spent a decade telling you to turn down the volume?Structured around four seasons of life, Where the Static Settles captures the transition from the vulnerability of childhood into the unapologetic clarity of adulthood.
Moving seamlessly from the rhythmic, heartbeats of Johannesburg's streets to the quiet, claustrophobic corners of the human mind, these poems do not shy away from the raw, lived experience of modern life.
Harzon-Cuyler navigates heavy themes of friendship betrayal, body image, grief, and the crushing weight of mental exhaustion-before steering the reader safely back into the light of unbundled joy, genuine love, and self-acceptance.
Divided into four poignant chapters:
Part I: The Sweet Hum - The innocent, observant beginnings of childhood.
Part II: Static and Feedback - The painful, jarring sting of judgment, toxic relationships, and feeling silenced.
Part III: The White Noise - Navigating the exhausting depths of anxiety and the internal battle to not be forgotten.
Part IV: A Quiet Room - Stepping into the warm embrace of emotional healing, perspective, and true identity.
Perfect for fans of contemporary, raw, and comforting poetry, Where the Static Settles is more than a collection of verses-it is a map of a woman's soul. It is a striking mirror for anyone who has ever felt too sensitive, too emotional, or too much, offering a gentle reminder that an extraordinary life worth living is often found right in the most ordinary bits.
