""WHALE is a raw and poignant collection of poems that tells the true story of Courtney, a fat lesbian, documenting her journey from a boy crazy, hyper feminine 'pick me' girl to a woman who quite frankly does not give a fuck anymore about what people think of her weight. It's been a very long journey with failed diets, passive aggressive comments and crying in a shop changeroom on multiple occasions, but she's ended up alright. More than alright, actually. WHALE explores the 'Funny Girl', a persona that attempts to disguise weight with a blanket of humour and aims to make people forget that you're overweight. It is critical of diet culture that has trickled down generations, the entanglement of fatness and sexuality and the fact that Courtney gets told she reminds people of Rebel Wilson because they are "kind of similar".""

""The cherry blossom tree carries the message of just how precious our lives are.

This collection of poems takes you on a gentle waltz through nature and life, in the way the seasons take you through time. Let yourself be immersed in nature and its beauty, before taking time to value little moments in life that would otherwise go unnoticed.
