A Tiny Box Full Of Letters To The Past

"A Tiny Box Full Of Letters To The Past" by rainingoutside4 aka Birthday Valerianella (twitter). This was their first writing project ever which was very exciting to me. Encouraging first-time writers is EXACTLY what I was hoping to do. It's full of 7 poems and an intentionally blank page covering "How small things, sometimes things I can't even see, trip me up on a day to day basis. Musings for the past." I have a very visual memory, since mine is entirely photographic (which doesn't mean perfect!) and find I remember strange little 'trinket aspects' about others I interact with, even if I forget what they had in their calendar sometimes. This chapbook feels like a lot of those little hyper-specific moments and memories that I remember constantly myself. I appreciate when other people write those. I think they make palpable stories to me, and that when you translate them to film they make it such a powerful medium.
