![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted to get deep inside a woman’s psyche with my novel, Sad Girls. I think that’s the most important thing for a woman to distinguish. You can be in love and still be yourself. I hope my writing helps illustrate the beautiful, complex and messy nature of love, with the underlying message that although love is powerful and intoxicating, you are more so. You can’t control who you fall in love with, but you can certainly choose who you want to have in your life. I think it’s important to follow your heart, but also to listen to your head. Especially since your partner will play such a huge role in shaping your life. The world of dating and relationships can be daunting. A poem can perfectly articulate your feelings at a certain point in your life, in a way little else can. ![]() This is why poetry is so essential to me. It is not the poem that has changed, but you. But when you come across the same poem years later, suddenly you find the poem will deeply resonate. Sometimes you read a poem and it doesn’t move you. Many people tell me that my poetry has helped them through a difficult time, or even saved their lives. As my work received more recognition, I realised I was mapping out the human experience of love and loss. I first wrote as a way to express myself.
