Chronicling the tumultuous story of two people who can’t seem to stay together — or apart — Don’t Be a Stranger is a candid collection of poetry and prose exploring what it means to love someone and still say goodbye. This collection captures the heartbreak of witnessing someone you know by heart suddenly become a stranger, as well as the ache of becoming a stranger to yourself.

 

Each poem is a poignant vignette of love and longing, with specificity that feels sharply personal yet universal. Don’t Be a Stranger will resonate with anyone that has felt a disconnect between the person they once were, and who they are now. These poems take your hand and turn you towards a mirror, reintroducing you to your reflection. They will not only validate your heartache, but reunite you with yourself.
