Poetry as Prism
Every word in this collection was chosen to reflect the diverse spectrum of the LGBTQ+ experience. We believe in high-impact visibility, celebrating the "imperfections" that make our community beautiful through the lens of modern lyricism.
Inclusivity First
Written with every identity in mind, fostering a space for true belonging.
Artistic Soul
Watercolor textures and raw emotion meet professional poetic structure.
Community Led
More than a book; it's a movement for lyrical representation.
The Heart and Soul Behind Life Poems
Meet Iris Robert
“I wrote this book because I finally chose to be honest with myself and with the world. If my words help even one person feel less alone, they’ve done what they were meant to do.”
Life Poems began as a high school poetry project when Iris Scott was just sixteen. After coming out as transgender, she used the assignment to share her real experiences instead of hiding behind safe words. Encouraged by her teacher, Iris turned that classroom project into her first published book.
