Poetry

Poetry written by myself covering a range of topics including race, mental health, and queerness in the 21st century, all work can be found @perlic_script on Instagram.

Some poems do not feature in any collection. These have been written ad hoc and may relate thematically for others but have not been designed to work together nor to purposefully explore any larger ideas…
