everything i wish i knew at seventeen is a poetry collection about growing up too fast and learning how to heal anyway.

centered on themes of grief, faith, identity, and self-discovery, this collection explores childhood wounds, insecurity, distance, and the quiet work of becoming. each poem captures a moment of reckoning-between fear and belief, past and present, who you were and who you're trying to be.

for readers navigating healing, deconstruction, and what it means to come into your own, this book offers language for the truths that are hardest to say out loud.

raw, reflective, and deeply personal, this collection serves as a kind of scripture for those still learning how to live, love, and move forward.
