"I have always held love in the palm of my hand, a butterfly cocooned, restless to emerge."

Winterbrook is a poetry and collage anthology centered around 2000s nostalgia, navigating the complexities of mental health and childhood trauma. Hendrick documents her journey into adulthood through text poetry and collage art, the collection featuring actual photos from her youth. It is a riptide of a book pulling readers out into a sea of longing, forcing them to acknowledge their own inner child and the struggles they faced growing up.

Winterbrook covers sensitive topics relating to depression, self-harm, addiction, divorce, death, and more.

"Haley Hendrick’s debut poetry collection is a moving meditation on childhood and growing up. An ode to the bittersweet feeling of leaving something behind that you’ll never be able to get back. These poems are urgent and immersive, rich with imagery that perfectly evoke the often complicated idea of “home.” Interspersed with the gorgeous mixed media collages that Hendrick is known for, “Winterbrook” is a collection full of love, healing, and hope for tomorrow. These are poems you’ll want to carry close to your heart." - Caitlin Conlon, author of The Surrender Theory

"As great poets so tenderly do, Haley Hendrick has given us a book filled with both grief and comfort existing simultaneously. Winterbrook will make you genuinely feel, through both collages and words. This is a book to carry with you through the ages." - Brianna Pastor, author of Good Grief
