Synopsis

Shoe Boxes is a collection of love poems for the person you haven’t found yet—and the person you hope will stay once you do.

Written like pages from a private journal, these poems move through loneliness, anticipation, attraction, uncertainty, trust, heartbreak, humor, and the quiet hope of finally finding someone who feels familiar.

Some poems wonder where love is hiding.
Some imagine two people reaching for each other before they ever meet.
Others capture the moments that come after—the first conversation, the smile that stays with you, the fear of moving too fast, the comfort of being understood, and the promise of choosing someone again and again.

At the center of the collection are the shoe boxes: letters written to someone whose name and face are still unknown, saved in the hope that one day there will finally be someone to hand them to.

Tender, conversational, sometimes funny, and deeply personal, Shoe Boxes is for anyone who has ever waited for love, found it unexpectedly, lost sleep wondering about it, or simply believed that somewhere out there, someone might be looking for them too.
