The Seeds
I've Sown

An autobiography through poetry

T. T. Claypoole

Twenty-five years of a life told through poems: loss, longing, sobriety, and a chance at new love.

At the heart of this collection is yearning. For connection. For meaning. For a way to feel at home in the world.

“It was suffering and peace, brutality and longing. Hope and grief. And every word a piece of poetry.”
