Twenty-four

£25.00

TWENTY-FOUR is a curated retrospective—24 poems selected from more than 80 during a year of seasonal writing, each one a moment worth revisiting. Unlike the seasonal collections born from Beth Kempton's Soul Circle prompts, this booklet looks back across 2024 to gather what mattered most. Childhood memory, philosophical questioning, tongue-in-cheek observation—the year condensed into its most resonant moments. Individually numbered, signed, and stitched with love.

What It Is: These poems weren't written as a collection—they emerged from four seasons of prompts across a year, then I chose the ones that still held weight when I looked back. Some playful, some contemplative, all honest. This isn't a "best of" in the polished sense—it's the work that revealed something worth keeping. Twenty-four poems that capture what 2024 felt like to write through.

How It's Made: Every booklet is a hand-crafted object. Printed on premium “Gentleman Blue” paper , the 26-page collection is hand-stitched with distinctive silky blue thread binding. I personally sign each copy and include a handwritten message, making every booklet unique. Presented to you in a bespoke matt black matchbox-style carton—these are meant to be kept, treasured, collected.

Ways to Enjoy: Read slowly, one poem at a time. Keep by your bedside. Gift to someone who appreciates the analogue world. Collect the whole Tiny Folded Poems series. Let the white space breathe. Return to favourites (I've included a dark blue satin bookmark ). Notice how looking back across a year creates its own arc, even when the poems weren't planned that way.

About the Writing Process: These poems were selected from a year's worth of writing practice—daily ten-minute sessions that built the discipline and raw material. Curation matters: not every poem from 2024 made it here, just the ones that still resonated when I looked back with fresh eyes.
