If you love poetry, you’re in the right place! I’d like to introduce my two published poetry collections, Vanilla Flavored Kisses and All Those Beautiful Places.
I write poems partly as a way to process the emotional weight of heartbreak, but more importantly, in the hope that others who feel - or have felt - the same can find themselves in my words. ✨
Please find below reading samples of each of my books. I selected them carefully, and I find they show very well what each book is about without spoiling you too much. If you like what you're reading and you're interested in knowing more of it, please also find links to my Amazon below.
Vanilla Flavored Kisses (Published January 2024)
This book is a relationship diary told through poems. It was my first published book, in which I immortalized the emotional process of healing from a relationship with an older, french guy I met at age 21. It follows the full journey - from the beginning to the end and what comes after - of heartbreak in its most painful, but also most eye-opening moments. It captures that first love in your early twenties, and the process of getting over that one guy who made you feel like you'll never love again. Throughout the poems, Paris is always present, with its most romantic places woven into the story.
I published the book at age 22, about a year after we broke up and I finally found myself over him.
All Those Beautiful Places (Published February 2026)
Written in poems and short reflections, "All those beautiful places" traces the quiet, complicated process of starting over after a heartbreak that once felt impossible to survive. Paris becomes more than a setting: it comforts and wounds, gives and takes, like a real person rather than just a city.
I published this book very recently, at age 25. I find it a bit tough to sum up, because it isn’t about just one experience. It’s about growing up, falling in love, getting your heart broken over and over again, and learning something new each time. Maybe the best way to describe this book is to compare it to life itself: random, absurd, but sometimes unremarkably beautiful.
A sequel to Vanilla Flavored Kisses, this collection continues the emotional journey while standing on its own. Readers who have not read the first collection will still be able to experience the themes, stories, and emotions of this book.
