This collection of poems is a record of love, life, and loss - the moments that shaped me, the stories I've carried, and the truths I've had to learn to speak. In these pages, I've tried to capture what it feels like to grieve, to love deeply, to change, to break open, and to begin again. Writing helped me find my way through some of the hardest chapters of my life, and if my words help someone else feel a little less alone in their own story, then I'm grateful. These poems are my way of saying: this is what it's like to be human. This is what it's like to keep going. This is what it's like to hold on to love, even through the loss.

Katie McConnon Roby: - Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Katie McConnon Roby grew up with one sister, two loving parents, and a large, loving Irish extended family who taught her to cherish reading, writing, and learning. After losing her mom in 2024 and her partner in 2025, writing became a way for her to honor her grief and her life. She has spent most of her career as a special education teacher and now works as a disability specialist. She loves taking her dog for walks, practicing yoga, spending time outside, and playing with her niece and nephews, who continue to inspire her with their joy and curiosity.
