I NEVER KNEW ME
A sword-bearing girl. A flicker of memory.
A poem blooming in the dark.
In this tender, fairytale-laced collection, poet Meg Layne invites you into a world where magic and memory intertwine, where grief wears wings, identity is a riddle wrapped in vines, and desire lingers like honey on the tongue.
I Never Knew Me is an intimate journey through queerness, neurodivergence, motherhood, heartbreak, and healing. Each poem is a soft unveiling; a glimpse into the beauty and ache of becoming.
With lyrical prose and nostalgic photographs, these pages feel like a spell whispered through a mirror, asking:
Who were you before the world told you who to be?
And who are you becoming now?
The Glasswing Press + Glasswing Press Books
When I began my self-publishing journey, I created The Glasswing Press to serve as a home for I Never Knew Me. From that venture was born a home for all things literary, a safe space for future works by other queer, neurodivergent, and marginalized authors.
And Glasswing Press Books, a mobile pop-up secondhand bookstore, sending gently loved books on new adventures and hosting storytimes throughout the Central Ohio area.
