#poetry book

[jansen-dean]

I am super excited to announce that today I just released my first book of poetry & prose! It's available on Amazon. This has been a long time coming. As many of you know, I am a musician, and long before a song becomes a song, it starts out as a poem. In 2021, I started to take writing poetry seriously and pondered the idea of releasing a book, and now it's finally happened!

This book covers themes of love, lust, addiction, mental health, suicide, abuse, complex and toxic family dynamics, and relationships of all kinds.

It also dives deep into obsessive thought patterns, self acceptance, and self exploration as a queer non-binary person in the southern part of the United States.

Some of these poems are written from personal experience, and others are merely fictional or inspired by the people around me and strangers as well. Music, art, and film also inspired me. There are some cute lighthearted poems in there, too.

I hope everyone finds a little piece of validation and joy in this book.

Get your copy now on Amazon!

I am not going to make my grief small and palatable. My love wasn't small either.

I looked at you, and suddenly, every heartbreak I've ever had, made sense.

How tenderly he holds the viper with it’s fangs in his palm.  How endless the trails of blood how parallel                           how calm.

Not a single wound on my soul has been inflicted by an enemy. Not a single dart pierced in my heart has been thrown by my nemesis. Not a single one.

I feel like a galaxy when you look at me. No one has ever looked at my darkness with so much love.
