Sad In A Playhouse: A Visual Memoir In Poems

Sad in a Playhouse is a visual memoir built from poems, photographs, drawings, journal entries, receipts, and fragments of a real life preserved in the aftermath of love and loss.Part poetry collection, part scrapbook, part emotional archive, the book documents the slow unraveling of a relationship and the person inside it. Across its pages are memories that feel frozen in time, moments of tenderness and devastation, evidence of longing, attempts at understanding, and the quiet process of trying to rebuild after everything changes.Raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal, Sad in a Playhouse explores attachment, grief, identity, loneliness, memory, hope, and the ways we search for ourselves inside other people.Assembled in the middle of lived experience rather than long after it, the book blurs the line between poetry, confession, and visual storytelling, creating something that feels less like a traditional collection and more like being handed a box of someone’s real memories.For anyone who has loved too deeply, stayed too long, or struggled to find themselves again after heartbreak, Sad in a Playhouse captures both the beauty and devastation of trying to hold onto something that was never meant to stay.
