It would be plausible to assume that there's no such thing as sunflowers in the winter, that the frost would prevent them from existing at all. But that's just not true.

They are there, speckled under the snow with every bit of potential ready to sprout.

However, us humans can have a terrible habit of not recognising something for what it is until we can see it in its final form.

Sunflowers in the Winter will take you on a personal journey of growth, loss, and acceptance, as a 20-something navigates her way through healing. These poems were written in 'real' time, inviting the reader into authentic life experiences.

Every part of the journey was a vital component in overcoming trauma, from the parts we would rather hide away, to the milestones we would want forever stored on our highlight reels.

This collection is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your journey, whether you are a seed under the snow, or a full-blown forest, you are still on the right path to finding your most content self.
