An exquisite poetry collection from the creator of The Daily Victorian that celebrates the hidden versions of ourselves, and unveils the healing power of nostalgia, imagination, and hope
"This is for anyone who doesn't see deep feeling as a bad thing but would appreciate a warm and talented companion while they do it."--Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? Maybe you're not old enough yet to believe in fairy tales again. But you can take a walk with optimism. You can hear her out when she tells you the universe is conspiring in your favor, and can keep your eyes peeled for signs that she's right. Victoria Hutchins's debut Make Believe is a reclamation of wonder and an invitation to return to childlike joy, wielding nostalgia and memory as lenses to imagine a fuller life. These poems pave a path of reconnection to our bodies, our past, our desires, and our wonder--beckoning readers to discover a world worth holding on to. Make Believe is for anyone who wants to take back the narrative of their life, whose body often feels like an enemy to their soul, or who might be struggling to stick around. This book will inspire readers to go out looking, heart in hand, for joy, purpose, and healing. With Hutchins's trademark sensory and evocative language throughout, Make Believe contains both viral spoken-word pieces and never-before-shared writing. Ultimately pointing readers toward transformation, Hutchins invites you to imagine: What would happen if you allowed yourself to believe again--in dreams and miracles, but mostly in yourself?Victoria Hutchins is a TikTok and Instagram poet and yoga teacher with a social media community of over 1.5 million followers.
