What the Pen Remembers: A Journey in Poems

Some memories never fade. They simply find their way to the page. What the Pen Remembers is a collection of fifty poems written across the years from childhood into adolescence - not originally as a book, but one poem, one moment, and one changing perspective at a time. Within these pages are the things that make up growing up: dreams and friendships, family and school, confidence and uncertainty, the world outside and the questions within. Some poems carry the simplicity and wonder of childhood. Others reveal the deeper reflections, convictions and uncertainties that arrive with growing older. Read together, they become something more than individual poems. They form a quiet record of becoming - preserving how the world looked, felt and changed through the eyes of a girl growing up. A journey in poems - and an invitation to remember your own.
