Dirt Under My Nails – Poetry In My Head

A heart that feels everything is a heavy thing to carry.

In this raw and deeply personal debut poetry collection, country girl Nicole turns an unflinching eye toward the messy, beautiful, and terrifying journey of living alongside grief.

Rejecting the pressure to turn off her feelings, Nicole steps directly into the storm. Through vivid, domestic imagery-an overflowing teacup, a shattered mirror, the clanking climb of a rollercoaster-she maps out a vulnerably honest path toward survival.

This collection is a steady hand in the dark, written for the soft hearts who have survived hard things and are brave enough to keep feeling anyway.

Whether you are seeking solace in contemporary poetry or looking for a companion through your own journey of emotional healing and resilience, this book is a sanctuary. It is for anyone who has ever felt too much, loved too hard, and had to learn-stitch by stitch-how to knit their own peace.

Perfect for fans of intimate, emotionally raw poetry that finds beauty in the fractures.
