yes, but hear me out.

That’s how this book begins.

What follows in The Half-Life of Lying is a lyrical exploration of selves inherited and invented, of mothers and daughters, of lovers and ghosts bound by devotion, rupture, and unfinished conversations.

Tender and unflinching, these poems trace the quiet ways we are shaped by those who came before us, by what we carry and leave behind, and offer a language for becoming, again and again.
