Wonderland

Project type

Poetry

Date

Location

Wonderland began in a composition notebook. A year later, it moved into a Word document, then (after dozens of round of edits) I sent it to my friends.

Still, it only lived in the digital realm. It needed a body.

I gave several.

This collection is about the quiet coming-of-age that happens after we’ve grown up. It takes place in the time between the Wonderland of my childhood and the very different Wonderland of my adulthood. They’re about the changes that roll in slowly with the tide and the changes that pour over you in an instant.
