Palette: Love Poems and Painted Words

Some books describe love. This one paints it. In Palette: Love Poems and Painted Words, language moves like music and lands like memory. These are not greeting-card sentiments. They are poems that reach into the chest and rearrange things. This collection moves through the full arc of human feeling - from the charged intimacy of lovers and the sensory world of nature in bloom, to the still, interior spaces where we make peace with time, loss, and ourselves.
The imagery is lush and precise: dandelions spreading through a sunken chest, change crawling into a crown like balayage, an old clock sketching sunsets with leaden hands. Palette is for anyone who has loved recklessly, lost quietly, or spent years searching for the exact word for something they've never been able to name. If you believe poetry should move you - not just once, but every time you return to it - this book belongs on your shelf.
