manic pixie dream queer is a raw and poignant exploration of the author's healing journey through the complexities of love, loss, and mental health.

The poems offer a powerful narrative of resilience, self-discovery, and reclaiming joy amidst hardship, inviting readers into an intimate conversation on healing, transformation, and the intersection of identity and emotion.
