For me, writing poetry has always been a process of self-renaming. Not something I do every day, yet when the words finally come, it feels like that long-lost friend coming to visit. Here is my return to self-expression, an action I began as a child full of wonder and adventure. But life has taken me down some difficult paths. Diagnosed with major depression and psychosis, most of the time I felt completely detached from my old self. Recently, reading over some of the things I wrote as a child, I felt again a flicker of the person I had been-a girl whose world was open to her eyes and heart, ready to be rediscovered. This book, in so many ways, is a reflection of that lost girl and a testament to my journey of self-recovery and healing continued to this day. Through these poems, I want to reach out to her-to whoever else may feel lost-to tell her that we are still here, waiting to be found.
