these nights I spend with my ghosts is a raw, unflinching poetry collection that maps the geography of trauma and recovery. Lauren Underwood's debut poetry book traces the journey from being "hollowed out" by depression, toxic relationships, and loss of faith to the slow, non-linear process of renewal. Through visceral imagery and honest vulnerability, these poems capture what it means to live with ghosts—both literal and metaphorical—while learning to breathe again. It's a book for anyone who has ever felt broken and wondered if healing is possible.
