My 2nd poetry book DIVE WITHIN is now available as a Kindle ebook, paperback, and hardcover on Amazon. For those interested, you can also request paperbacks at your local bookstore. The book focuses on my fight with lymphoma and handling my mental health. amazon.com/Dive-Within-Fi…
To celebrate the release of my next poetry book is to remind everyone about @shelbyleighpoet’s The Poetry Club member magazine. The poem that I submitted for last year’s magazine issue will appear in DIVE WITHIN (releases March 3 on Amazon)…instagram.com/reel/C4BG1oMrd…
thanks for sharing my book!
There is strength in saying goodbye to the person you were so, you can become who you were meant to be. There is strength in letting go, unwrap your fingers from any hatred you are carrying and show yourself forgiveness. ~changing with the tides, written by Shelby Leigh

Our students had an opportunity at the Sharjah International Book Fair to interact with the World famous poet Shelby Leigh, who spoke about ‘mental health poetry’ serving as a medium for self-expression. #GEMSLegacySchool #GEMSEducation #KHDA #SharjahInternationalBookFair
Shelby Leigh is an author who explores mental health, self-love, and healing through poetry. She wrote her third and newest collection, girl made of glass, to examine the past and how it can haunt our minds through overthinking. She writes her books with the goal of making others…

“If only 7 people can understand my insular little poem, that means I am a master poet, but if 5000 people love this poem, it’s a bad poem because it’s too accessible” - just making up the most unhinged rules around literature for 0 reasons.
Mary Oliver was a child who came from a childhood deeply harmed by child sexual abuse and incest and still found it in herself to look at the world with awe. The power in her work lies in that balance of darkness and light.
I know in theory that books have a long lifespan but as a debut author we all panic after the first week or two when our rankings start to fall… I’m learning that it’s only now, in month 3-4 that regular readers - not writer readers - are actually encountering & reading my book
Fun fact: I wrote I’m Glad We Did This first, but Early Cuts was published first. When it comes to submitting, it’s anyone’s guess when projects will be picked up! Thankful that these books both found homes. ❤️
