“beautiful and quite literally heartfelt”

"this is a book of beautiful words and beautiful art work. i bought two copies, one for me, one for a friend. i can't bring myself to give the second away, i want one to read and another to frame my favourite page. feeling honoured to own a copy of some of your words"

“touching, empowering & insightful”

"After reading this, I know I'll need to read much more poetry. I think it's hard to find a universality in something so personal, but this collection resonates so deeply with me for the things that are similar to the lives I know. It felt incredibly personal but never intrusive, rather like the writer is sharing her growth.
I was also astounded with the cohesion between the illustrations and the text, like the poet and writer were of one mind throughout the process!

Greatly enjoyed this and I keep finding myself going back to the book to flick through and read through the poems. A really special collection, highly recommend."

“poignant and relatable”

"I loved this collection! Perfect to read in one go or consume in bite-size chunks, this collection has endless re-readability. Broken into separate narratives, the collection still stands as a whole, woven together by the distinct and unique voice of the author. The wonderfully intimate storytelling, in parts heart-wrenching, in parts heart-soaring, makes each poem seem like a handwritten note to you, a personal experience for you to partake in. The poems are also complemented by unique drawings which capture the essence of the words and are just as beautiful!

'for m(en)' presents love and poetry in a poignant and relatable way, speaking particularly to the feeling of our current generation- a powerful debut, would definitely recommend."

“expressive and wonderful”

"I finished this book in one sitting as I was so gripped by the expressive, emotional and relatable content. All women need to read this as I think everyone can find something to relate to within - I myself shed a tear at a few of the poems. Talented writing and beautiful illustrations, I’ll keep thinking about and revisiting this wonderful collection for a long time! Would recommend to all."

“relatable, emotional and timeless”

"I don’t normally read poetry but this collection of such open and expressive poems was a really lovely read which took me through every emotion whilst reading it. The poems don’t only express the emotions felt in the highs and lows of modern dating culture but of all forms of relationships and romance in general which is really timeless. The illustrations are beautiful and complement the writing so well!"

our book is out, folks! poetry by me, illustrations by nat!

you can buy it from us here!

description:
a bittersweet breakup letter to nine boys and a past self.
(Or alternatively, 69 poems about questionable life choices…)
for me(n) is the story of six years of heartbreak told through 107 pages of poetry and art.
In accompanying a solitary Asian girl through the highs and lows of her romantic pursuits, you’ll come to realise how blurred the lines truly are between realised fantasies and disappointing realities. Between fleeting pleasures and lasting trauma.
You’ll learn more about her than you ever thought you needed to but with a little bit of luck, you’ll learn just as much about yourself along the way.

we also created a set of accompanying postcards!

if you’d like to buy either the book or the postcards directly from me, you can do so here via a google form!

we are currently also stocked at good press in glasgow, so if you’re in the area, pop by and grab a copy! we’re also listed on their website so you can buy our book here and our postcards here.

i’m currently working on a new book also, so stay tuned!

love you all
