Basics of Breathing

Is being alive either gulping air or holding your breath? Undress the spacesuit of your soul and find out. This is poetry for the breathing and fleeting.Born and raised in Helsinki, Finland, Heini Talip now resides in south Texas with her husband and cat. A writer and poet at heart since childhood, she has been published in two poetry anthologies. A proud vegan, she finds inspiration in her natural tendency to sadness, writing into words life’s cloudiness that gives away to starry skies.

While Basics of Breathing is Talip’s first stand-alone book, readers can find more by her on her Instagram: @missfinnpoet
