Hi! I’m Selin. I’m a NY-based bi-cultural educator, political scientist, writer, and mother.
I use words to break walls, heal wounds, and speak for the silenced.
Here’s what I do—and why it matters 🧵 #authorsky #writersky #poetrysky #momsky

If gravity
ceased to matter
and we fell off the earth,
for what it’s worth:
I’d still fall into the abyss
of whatever this is,
and into autumn
where leaves, like us,
burn as they turn
wilting:
those that stood tall,
grateful
to be remembered at all

as your world turns
upside down,
you can still be expected
to cover your frown
without anyone giving you
a crown

💫Just one more post before I step aside for a little while …highlighting my new blog post. It may matter to those just discovering my books, and to those who have read and perhaps felt too much (if you were triggered, forgive my early steps as an author still learning how to hold space)
