I Live Here Now: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and the Body That Remains

What happens when the stories you've been told no longer fit the life you've lived?
In I Live Here Now, poet Laura Brown explores the complicated terrain of love, loss, identity, resilience, and becoming. By turns lyrical, humorous, heartbreaking, and hopeful, these poems examine what it means to survive disappointment, release what no longer serves us, and make peace with the person staring back from the mirror.
Part poetry, part memoir, and part invitation to reflection, this collection invites readers to sit with life's questions, contradictions, and transformations as they discover the courage to keep moving forward.
For anyone who has ever had to begin again, I Live Here Now is both a witness and a reminder:
You are allowed to change.
You are allowed to stay.
You are allowed to become.
