Dreams Submerged in Broad Daylight is a 200-page collection of contemporary poetry exploring love, longing, heartbreak, travel, imagination, and the quiet process of becoming yourself again.
Structured in three parts - I. Dreams, II. Submersion, and III. Broad Daylight - the collection traces an emotional journey from infatuation and wonder, through grief and obsession, to perspective, healing, and creative renewal.
