where touch begins is a collection of minimalist free verse poems exploring the intricate landscape of intimacy, self-discovery, and the power held within our own skin. Following in the vein of modern poets like Rupi Kaur, this collection uses simple language and evocative imagery to navigate the territories of love, desire, the body's truths, and the quiet strength found in vulnerability.
Divided into four parts - the first touch, mapping the skin, the heat, and unfolding - these poems journey through the initial sparks of connection, the exploration and acceptance of the physical self, the intensity of passion and pleasure, and the enduring process of healing and self-love.
It's an honest look at what it means to connect deeply - with another person, and ultimately, with oneself. For anyone who has ever loved, longed, felt, or sought to understand the language of their own body, this collection offers moments of recognition, solace, and empowerment.
