About this book

Dearest Crab Man is a haunting and tender collection of poems that wander through loneliness, longing, strange affection, and the quiet corners of the human heart. With imagery that drifts between the surreal and the painfully real, these poems speak to the feeling of loving something—or someone—the world might not understand. Through fragile confessions, dark humor, and moments of unexpected warmth, Dearest Crab Man explores isolation, devotion, and the odd comfort found in the unusual. It is a book for readers who have ever felt out of place, yet still searched for connection in the most unlikely places. Raw, strange, and deeply human, Dearest Crab Man is a love letter to all souls.
