I left,

the sun was eating me

I wanted my bones to burn

I came back,

cut onions on a wooden board

my knife said: you are worth crying for

- Body Compost & other ghost poems

Books

Are you a house haunted by complex relationships?

Body Compost & other ghost poems is a collection for dug-up gardens and plants looking for the right soil to grow.

These poems are homes for dust bunnies, spices, fears and heart beats.

They give solace to what we can't make sense of by giving the spotlight to the quotidien, the sensory and the memory.

Pink Goo is about a spiral down to anxiety and depression and the following journey to find peace. After trying to shed light on social injustice, sexual harassment and the climate collapse, the poet finds herself in the darkness and explores many corners within herself, rough and soft. In the deep furrows of her mind, Loulou finds a white canvas on which she paints with colours to lift her spirit while allowing nuances of grey to tell the depth of reality.

These poems are to aid the reader who wants to scream but doesn’t find the words. They are a balm to spread on trauma wounds. They care for the soul after a storm.

"This is a collection of poems for the lost and anxious soul, the one that is torn between what is and what should be, the soul that has left and doesn't know if they want to come back." Alice Pierre

"Pink Goo is a refreshing, candid and comforting journey towards hope. Reading her poems feels like watching clouds of grey part to reveal the sun that has been there all along." Heather Pearson

"A beautiful collection filled with rhythm and dynamic writing! Pink Goo offers an intimate insight into Loulou's past experiences with both and vulnerable tone of voice." Soofiya

"A searing answer to anyone to anyone telling femme folx to write subtle, pretty verse - the direct poetics of hairy asses. I needed this." Reanna Valentine
