YOU have felt it: being a girl in a world that forgets its promises to us. Here are poems that understand this feeling. Lush and cinematic and full of healing, they draw on pop culture, mythology, and everyday moments to remind us that after wildfires, wildflowers bloom 🌸

You don't need an English degree to feel them. (I should know. I have one!) They belong in your hands like a note slipped to you by a friend when you need it most 📝 Whether you're crying in your bedroom or scrolling at 2am 🌙, these poems meet you exactly where you are in life.
