"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.

"Deeper is a treasure for anyone who has ever felt unseen and ready to release the mask."

“As I read Deeper, I listened to every single word, punctuation, and every sound that saffy captured in this book. saffy's body is beautifully loud. It is art. It is a map into your own soul... My favorite part left me asking, what is deeper than an agreement?
By the time I finished reading this masterpiece, I found what lies underneath an agreement; I found the ability to not need one, to just be present regardless of who is there and how they show up. I found a way to coexist with others without definition or motive. That is the depth I reached as I read this book. I am better because of it too. Deep bow. Well done. Thank you. I needed this.”
“saffy writes things so many of us have felt. I missed it whenever I stopped reading and I feel like people will find camaraderie in it... [saffy] describes some of those deepest feelings to us. A gift to Black gender expansion.”
“saffy's debut collection is a masterful work of transparent transitions coupled with the inner workings of self-discovery, forgiveness and relational gymnastics of mind, body and soul. Her colorful play on words draws you onto the dance floor, and into the vulnerable inner child who is no longer seeking permission to flourish in her truth and embraces every ounce of her being from her crown to the soles of her feet...Deeper is a treasure for anyone who has ever felt unseen and ready to release the mask. Bravo my dear daughter, bravo.”
