I am proud to announce that my sophomore poetry collection, Oizys, is officially live for purchase!

Oizys, the daughter of Nyx and the embodiment of misery, reinforces the collection’s overall tone. A stark departure from my 2024 debut collection, Death Is A Dancer, this collection seeks to dive into the emotions of grief that come with lost love.

I wrote this collection as a way to heal and process from my own heartbreak this year, and I would argue that this will be the most vulnerable and personal collection I will ever publish. Finding comfort in the tragedies of ancient Greek mythology wasn’t on my bingo card, but it is where I found myself as I faced the uncertainty and emptiness surrounding me. For the first time in my life, I could understand their pain as they tried bargaining with the gods to restore what they had lost. I was doing the same. The denial, the anger, the bargaining, the depression, the acceptance. It’s all complicated and messy. Healing from grief is never simple and straightforward, and neither is this collection. It is tied together through the narratives of famous Greek myths and legends, in all their hubris and folly. It is dramatic. It is painful. It is rumination. It is self-reflection. It is flawed. It is healing.

What I want this collection to represent is the chaos and agony that comes with losing the one you love most, whether through death or taking different paths in life. I feel that lost love is such a universal human experience. We resonate with those feelings of loss and despair. My hope is that the reader choosing to dive into this collection will see themselves in my words and find peace in knowing they aren’t alone. We have all succumbed to the darkness Oizys has brought to our beds. No one has been untouched by misery.

The poem titles are as follows:
