The Self is an Ocean
Cypher’s debut full-length poetry collection - The Self is an Ocean - is a poetic memoir rich with cultural commentary. Through striking metaphors and images, paired with a deeply musical writing style, this visceral collection delves into complex trauma, mental illness, womanhood, queerness, religion, culture, grief, and the search for meaning. Each poem here promises to crawl beneath the reader’s skin and unfold from the inside out.
Note: I am working on getting this stocked in a few indie book shops near the Waterloo and Toronto area, so if you would rather support small businesses, please check back here in a few weeks.
