Sitting On The Ocean... by Mimi Jones

"There is a sweet, raw window of awakening in reading Mimi's collection. 'Sitting On The Ocean Watching You Fight Off Seagulls To Save Our Chips' invites us to sit with our own salty lines of loss as it washes in with love; and we are olefin in a new fresh space of hope" - Ceri Baker

This poetry collection, by Mimi Jones, explores love as they learn to cope with their own circumstances. From loss, developing disabilities, and navigating the world as a newly diagnosed autistic, this book shows life in its stark reality. 

Please note, this book contains references to abuse, heartbreak, coercion, depression, autism, mental health, self-harm, disability, set, love & hope. 18+ advisory.
