Abandoned Gardens Still Grow
What happens to the parts of us we leave behind?
In this powerful collection of poetry and reflection, Will Rhem Jr. journeys through trauma, identity, queerness, and healing—tending to the abandoned corners of his past and proving that even what’s left untended can still bloom.
Told in four parts—The Soil, The Seeds, The Water, and The Light—this book invites readers to witness his story while reflecting on their own.
Because growth is not always graceful.
But it is always possible.
