Poignant is a captivating literary anthology that gives voice to rarely named emotions. Through a distinctive blend of poetry, short stories, directives, practice guides, and explorations of emotional grey areas, Poignant takes readers beyond definitions into experiences they can feel, recognise, question, and understand. It brings literature and practical wisdom together, revealing not only why we feel what we feel, but how those emotions influence the way we live and connect with others.

From the profound awareness of Sonder and the irresistible longing of Limerence to the shared joy of Mudita, the conflicting feelings of Ambivalence, and the serenity of Bliss, each emotion reveals a hidden dimension of what it means to be human.

More than a book about emotions, Poignant is a journey of emotional discovery. It offers a new vocabulary for familiar experiences, fresh perspectives on life's contradictions, and a deeper appreciation of the invisible threads that connect us all.

Some emotions are difficult to explain. Others are difficult to recognise. Poignant gives them a name, a voice, and a place in your story.
