Under Clouds and City Lights

I don't know how we got here, where the beginning / of the end started, when we drifted so / far apart we were no longer us.

Under Clouds and City Lights is a collection of 131 poems dedicated to the universal experiences that tie people together. Inspired by the small moments that empower each of us to be who we truly are, respected poet Caitlin Ju hopes to inspire readers to slow down and appreciate the little things. In her debut book, Caitlin fearlessly explores the entire spectrum of the human experience, including poems on the layers of our personalities such as "Russian Doll," her Asian American identity in "Chopsticks," and the pain of letting go in "Bad at Goodbyes."

With poems and illustrations full of heartbreak and beauty, Under Clouds and City Lights is both a coming-of-age story and a love letter to life packed into one inspiring collection.
