Postcards from My Bedroom - Paperback

In his debut poetry collection, John Mamaril opens the door and creatively invites us in as he shares intimate moments of personal reflection in the form of love letters, snapshots, and self-portraits. In each piece, John plays with words in a way that is both accessible to individuals new to poetry while remaining enjoyable to familiar readers as they explore his thoughts regarding self-image, learning, and love. Beneath the vulnerable tone and honest introspection within this collection, there lives a quiet and romantic hopefulness in Postcards from My Bedroom that is eager to jump out of the pages.

This collection is more than an assortment of writing - it is an illuminating journey in self-discovery, a careful navigation of complicated relationships, and a shimmering exploration of love. This adventure can feel lonely and lost but in the mix of wrong turns, there is a playful wandering and living in the moment that leaves the reader feeling like they too are finding themselves headed in the right direction.
