Ok Now, Ok Never Sarah Luther

Ok Now, Ok Never is a collection of poems born from a self-healing journey. In Sarah's debut book of poems, she explores her relationships with self-hatred, self-love, trauma, bitterness, and pain.

"At the beginning of 2021, I pulled out all of my old journals from 2015 to the end of 2019. I read through them all, and I realized something that my soul had been screaming at me for years:

"You're wrong about yourself."

I had been living in a graveyard of my past, listening to the ghosts tell me stories and believing what they've said about me:

That I quit too soon and too often,

That I shouldn't have left my family,

That I didn't try hard enough,

That I didn't love enough,

And if I was a better person,

Someone different,

I wouldn't have been such a disappointment.

But when I read through my words, I found five years of proof of how hard I fought and how hard I tried. It was never that I quit, it was that I finally chose myself.

So I destroyed the journals and put the graveyard to rest.

These are the poems from that time.

I hope they can meet you where you're at, and if that's a graveyard of your own, these words are here for you until you're ready to leave it.

Nothing good comes to life in a graveyard.
