i should've known by the way you kissed me

Part confession... Part love letter... Part reckoning....

Told in four movements--loss, lust, longing, and love--i should have known by the way you kissed me includes themes of queerness and intimate journeys through the body and the heart. These poems explore the sweetness and the ruin of desire: the hunger of first touch, the ache of wanting more, and the quiet devastation of letting go.

Blending sensuality, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, the collection offers of portrait of a relationship unraveling and the self that emerges from its ashes.
