Born from the slow rhythm of an August breeze, The Bookshop Sessions began as an open-air bookshop—shelves set streetside, inviting the Kingston public to browse and linger. In the stillness, something unexpected emerged.
“I was listening to 90s hip-hop instrumentals when my pen slipped into its groove. The words took on rhythm, moving like melody. For months, I sat there, letting the words spill into the music. When I saw the pattern, the next step was obvious—make a book each day, one for each poem. Of course!
”
And so, the Bookshop Sessions took form—raw, unfiltered, and printed in their natural glory. Later collated into this singular collection of those daily expressions.
