We are often afraid of the things we cannot see - but I am here to take you on my personal journey of seeing my unseen. The Night Knows Your Name is a collection of poetry I started writing in conjunction with my therapy. It served as a great means of externalising and exploring the themes of heartbreak, despair, anger, confusion through my early days of recovery. I was also able to relive my joy, and cement little pieces of wisdom I discovered along the way. These pieces inevitably paved a clearer road for my journey inward to clearer sight of who I really am, which has now led me to you. I have sectioned the book according to emotional themes: Ghost Love, Sorrow, Anguish, Healing, Way, Fire, and Home - and you can read it in that order as a journey to the light, or pick a poem from a chapter that your heart yearns to read from; some can serve as prayers, which you can recite as mantras, which you can meditate upon whenever you are idle. Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you honour it, and whichever way you choose to read this book, I hope you will begin to learn your name in the night, just as I have begun to learn mine.
