TINY FOLDED POEMS - Spring 2025 Hand-crafted square poetry booklet.

£17.50

These booklets were born from a season of daily ten-minute writing sessions as a member of Soul Circle with Beth Kempton. Each collection captures a season through thoughtful, playful verse—childhood memories, philosophical moments, and gentle humour woven together. Individually numbered, signed, and stitched with love.

What It Is: I wrote each poem in a spontaneous ten-minute sessions inspired by the day’s theme; there was strictly minimal editing. Each collection blends childhood wonder, philosophical musings, and my tongue-in-cheek humour. These aren't polished performances—they're honest snapshots from me of spontaneous moments, playful and contemplative in equal measure.

How It's Made: Every booklet is a hand-crafted object. Printed on premium Munken cream paper, the 21-page collection is hand-stitched with distinctive red 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 all four seasons. Let the white space breathe. Return to favourites (I’ve included a bookmark ribbon). Notice how each collection reflects different moods within the same playful-thoughtful voice.
