"... we are important in the small ways

in the hugs we give nightly,

in the ways we glow brightly,

before dotting out

as star each morn by rising sun"

let it bend is a poetry collection with a beating heart - one that is:

...tangled ...curious ... hiding ... found ... close

...hurt ...heard ... delicate ... held

The words inside speak to the heart's implausible resilience. It celebrates the tender, the raw, and the unyielding.

In this collection, Rosie Murphy takes you on an ever-deepening lyrical odyssey through the power of letting go and the strength forged by vulnerability. Her poetry is a testament to love, seeking, and the quiet moments in between. let it bend is the reminder to tend to your heart, honour your truth and live with open arms.
