In Which I Try to Save the World

This collection of poems is a love letter for those who seek the light. These words are for the weary, the wicked, and the wounded-for those working hard to fill their days with wonder. We believe poetry is the perfect place to unpack what it means to be a mother, an artist, and a human in today's world. We hope these words meet you right where you are and that they offer you the comfort, connection, and cold hard rage we all need to keep going. May they bring you one step closer to embracing your own wonderful, messy, unbreakable light.

Part-Time Poets is a collaborative monthly Substack publication and is home to poetry born in the margins of to-do lists and note apps in pickup lines. It's where you'll find poems that started as a word traced on the shower wall or scribbled on a scrap of paper at 3:00 a.m. It's where words are inspired by the reality of crumbs on the floor and dreams of a better future. It's a home for stories of hope, grief and everything in between.
