"So many desire to touch this skin

To feel the softness

Caress the curves

Grab the folds

Smell the musk

But what can you offer me that I cannot acquire myself?

WHAT HAVE YOU SHED?

How does it taste to free yourself?"

saffy's debut collection is a reminder to be who you are no matter the cost. Filled with poems, essays, and short stories written during the peak years of the COVID-19 pandemic, saffy's collection offers a closer look at who they were, who they are, and who they are becoming. Deeper is an invitation for those who are seeking freedom to gift it to themselves.
