but when your eyes meet
theirs for the first time,
you become an ocean.
Submerge is a poetry collection about love, friendship, trauma, mental illness, loss, self-harm, racism and violence, and is K.Y. Robinson’s second poetry collection. This collection is divided into three parts: immerse, drown and emerge.
i’ve found new universes in the unfolding nebulas of your eyes.
you are the first one my heart cracked open for.
Submerge is the second book I’ve read by K.Y. Robinson and I was really excited to read this collection. I really loved her first poetry collection, The Chaos of Longing, so I had some high expectations.
your name pooled inside me
and i swallowed every wave
to drown my love for you
I really liked the illustrations used in this collection. It gave it something extra. As for the poems, a lot of them were really beautiful and relatable. I kept on adding and adding more titles to my 'favourite poems' list. I didn’t expect anything else since I loved K.Y. Robinson’s first poetry collection!
when you kissed me it felt like
you were searching for someone
who didn’t exist and i let you because
i wanted to be anyone else but myself.
I’m really looking forward to K.Y. Robinson’s next poetry collection! She’s such an amazing author and all over her poems are so beautiful and or emotional. I highly recommend Submerge!
Favourite poems:
secrets
at first sight
the first kiss
first love
transcend
swept away
fleeting
a flowering friendship
and it was so good
homegirls
submerge
waves of longing
soluble
when they leave
the sailor and the siren
drowning in love
withered
the last time
misplaced kisses
gary
i have a girlfriend
reputation
on losing my father
how are you?
no one understands
why i write
fight
the cycle
what not to say to someone with mental illness
blossom
