Overview

Everything I Haven't Said is a raw, intimate poetry collection that gathers three hundred poems written in the quiet spaces where honesty was once withheld. These poems speak to love in all its forms; tender, obsessive, fleeting, enduring, and broken. As well as grief, mental health, faith, identity, ancestry, Blackness, and the long road toward healing. This collection is not about perfection. It is about reality. Each poem offers a moment of witness: the heartbreaks that reshape us, the questions we ask God when no one is listening, the inherited histories we carry in our blood, the loneliness of becoming, and the courage it takes to keep feeling in a world that often asks us to numb ourselves instead. These poems do not rush toward answers. They sit with uncertainty. They honor vulnerability. They speak from the body, the spirit, and the self without apology. Rooted in emotional truth and spiritual reflection, Everything I Haven't Said reads like a confession, a prayer, and a homecoming all at once. It is for readers who have loved deeply, grieved quietly, questioned loudly, and survived more than they ever planned to. It is for those who know what it means to be ""too much"" and still show up anyway. This book is not asking to be understood. It is asking to be felt.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
