Ninety-Seven Poems

Following the success of Terribly Tiny Tales, this collection brings the same concise storytelling sensibility to poetry. The poems are brief, accessible and rooted in familiar experiences, but often carry unexpected emotional or philosophical observations.

The book plays with the boundary between pictures, stories and poems, inviting readers to look closely at seemingly ordinary moments. Its subjects range from relationships and loneliness to city life, memories, objects and fleeting observations.

Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT) is a storytelling platform and creative community known for its extremely short, relatable stories and poems. The project developed a distinctive style of capturing everyday emotions and experiences in just a few words, making its work especially popular with readers of contemporary digital literature.

Ninety-Seven Poems presents ninety-seven short poems inspired by the ordinary world around us. A park bench, a prescription, a toothbrush, a broken geyser, a digital wristwatch or a group of pigeons can become the starting point for a poem.

Rather than relying on elaborate language, the collection uses brevity, imagery and observation to capture emotions and moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. The poems can be playful, intimate, humorous, melancholic or thought-provoking.

The result is a modern poetry collection that encourages readers to pause and discover stories in everyday life. It is particularly suited to readers who enjoy short-form writing, contemporary poetry and bite-sized reflections.
