Acknowledgments
These poems were written in San Luis Obispo, California. This book is dedicated to that magical place.
Writing is a practice and these poems will never be perfect. That is the point and the heart of the matter. Writing matters. Do it.
This book of poetry would not be possible without the support and unconditional love of Jocelyn, Laura, Mira, Abby, Melody, Amber, Molly, Kris, Jaime, and all of the people who liked these poems when I shared them on Instagram.
