Things I Meant to Say

Things I Meant to Say is a collection about the quiet truths we carry-grief that softens with time, love that reshapes us, and the small courage it takes to keep moving through the world with an open heart. In these poems, Lindsay Crawford writes with a rare gentleness, offering an intimate look at the moments that define us: motherhood, memory, loss, forgiveness, and the way a lake can hold more than we realize-it can hold everything we're not ready to say out loud. Honest and vulnerable, this book is a reminder that we are shaped not only by what we live through, but by what we finally learn to name. These poems reach for light, even in the hardest places.
