The One Before the First

For readers of confessional poetry, heartbreak prose, and raw emotional memoirs, The One Before The First is a raw, unflinching collection about first love, obsessive longing, and the grief that follows it.

Through bruised reflections and visceral imagery, it traces the slow descent of someone awakening to intimacy-only to unravel in the aftermath of a not-quite relationship.

This is the haunting of almosts: the texts that meant too much, the nights you couldn't sleep, the illusion of being seen, and the brutal clarity that follows disillusionment.

A poetic autopsy of someone who gave you fragments, yet somehow still took everything. For anyone who's ever loved the one who came before the first.
