DON'T YOU CRY, I'M ON VENUS is a raw and intimate debut poetry collection that lays bare the complexities of gender, identity, and mental health. With a voice that is both fierce and tender, these searing poems offer an emotionally direct journey toward self-love and acceptance.

Praised for its honest and timely exploration of pressing themes, the collection weaves striking imagery with deeply personal narratives, creating a powerful arc that captivates from the first page to the last. Readers will encounter unforgettable works like the celebrated “The Color Yellow” and the deeply resonant “Life’s a Bitch,” alongside evocative line drawings that enrich the reading experience.

Polished and deeply moving, DON'T YOU CRY, I'M ON VENUS is a fully realized vision that invites readers into a vulnerable and beautifully unapologetic world. This is a book that promises to nourish hearts and minds, leaving an indelible mark on those who journey through its pages.
