Poetry collections
Poetry for the anxious nights, the grief, and the love that leads you back to yourself.
"…a profound and courageous confession."
Ruben Quesada, poet · from the cover of Amour Fou
The grief you keep editing. The love that swallowed whole years. The anxious 3 a.m. mind that won't hand you back to sleep. When the right words won't come, sometimes it helps to borrow someone else's, and find your own story looking back at you from the page.

About the poet
Stacie Seidl is a Boston-based poet and creative writer who writes for anyone in the middle of something: the anxious nights, the grief, the love that swallowed you whole. She is the author of Breathing Underwater, Amour Fou, and the new collection Kaleidoscope Dreams.
Through Stacie Seidl Writes, she offers words for feelings that can be difficult to say out loud. She writes in the hope that someone will recognize themselves in a poem and feel a little less alone.
"I write in the hope that my words will reach those in pain, and they will find solace in knowing they are not alone."
If you're reaching for light in a heavy season, start with Breathing Underwater. If your heart is busy, obsessed or freshly broken, Amour Fou will feel like it was written about you. And if you are carrying someone, Kaleidoscope Dreams was written for the nights they still visit.
Breathing Underwater and Kaleidoscope Dreams are $9.99 in paperback. Amour Fou is $16.99 in paperback because its art is printed on the page itself, in full color. All three are on Kindle for $3.99 if you'd rather start reading tonight.
Beautifully. The illustrated pages were made to be lingered over; many readers gift them with a note tucked inside. Kaleidoscope Dreams opens with a page made for writing a name, which makes it the gift that says who it is for.
