Sunflower Shin Splints by Siobhan Darling is a powerful debut collection of poetry and prose, ripped straight from the pages of her trauma journal. Born and raised in Central Florida, Siobhan is a queer mom of three, a storyteller since childhood, and a survivor who continues to write her way out of the dark.

This collection captures the complexities of abusive relationships, the quiet triumphs of reclaiming selfhood, and the enduring power of love in all its forms. Whether reflecting on pain, celebrating resilience, or illuminating the beauty found in connection, Darling's voice is one of messy courage.

Through vivid imagery and unflinching honesty, Sunflower Shin Splints is for anyone who's felt lost in their own skin, for anyone rebuilding after the storm. It's not just about survival-it's about finding beauty in the brokenness and light in the darkest corners.
