Crooked Smile is a collection of poetry and short stories that explore love, loss, and the quiet pursuit of self-restoration. Moving through four sections titled Love & Ghosts, Bruised & Blooming, Shadows & Salvation, and Wild & Withstanding, it reflects on how pain reshapes us, how memory softens over time, and how beauty can be found within imperfection. Explore the intricacies of human nature and the ways we adapt to what makes us feel.
