"You've changed now. Instead, you're filled with hope.You look as if you're in love.Is this really her?I touch the mirror. Is it you?" A Thursday in November is a debut poetry collection about becoming-- about first loves, heartbreak, self-discovery, and the quiet moments that change us. Written with diary-like honesty, these poems capture the exploration of love, identity, and healing. Through reflections of memory and coming-of-age, this collection follows the journey of learning to recognize yourself again: how to hold feelings that don't have a place to go, how to navigate loss and longing without losing yourself, and how to become someone you're proud of. Soft and comforting, yet sincere and compassionate, this book speaks to readers learning to guide change and emotion, reminding them that growth does not have to be rushed-- and hope can return when you least expect it.
