Midnight in Paris and Other Poems

Midnight in Paris is a confessional, lyrical journey through love, loss, memory, and survival. Set against the dreamlike backdrop of Europe — especially Paris and Madrid — this collection reads like a letter left on a windowsill at midnight: private, raw, and aching to be found.

The poems trace the emotional geography of the speaker’s inner world — one shaped by trauma, heartbreak, and recovery — while still holding space for beauty, joy, and unexpected tenderness. Themes of domestic abuse, longing, exile, and chosen family recur like ghosts, each piece woven with vivid imagery, classical allusions, and the sharp intimacy of someone who has loved too deeply and lived to write about it.

Structured as a mosaic of voices and moments, Midnight in Paris captures what it means to be haunted by both memory and hope. It asks: What does it mean to survive something that tried to silence you? Can love exist without peace? And when the storm passes, who are we allowed to become?

This is not a collection about Paris. It is about the version of yourself you meet there — at midnight, alone, and honest at last.
