This book opens our eyes to the reality that life is a commonality that we're all living together, no matter how different it seems. Honestly, it's more than just another poetry book; it's life living out loud!


- A Bit More About The Book -


From K.D. Gates, bestselling author of The Good Poet, comes Between Seams, a relatable and energetic collection of poetry about the hidden parts of life that we don't see. It's in the in-betweens, those deeply hidden stitches of life, that we hide from the world. It's in the unaligned seams where we lose ourselves to the painful memories of love, lust, abuse, abandonment, and self-sabotage.


Between Seams; illustrated by K.D. Gates is a five-chapter poetry book of unraveling, threading, mending, knotted, and seams. An exploration of human emotion in its most excellent form.


Because as individuals, life seems different on the inside.


-Peek Inside-


what are you going to do with me as
i unravel before your eyes-
sit, wait for death, hope to die?
what are you going to do with me?
- asked life


those rarely spoken
yet salvaged moments that we hide inside.
- unaligned seams
