The Prelude Girl

This is a poetry collection for everyone who was “almost” chosen.

Sometimes love leaves you at the doorway. Marjorie Gavan’s debut, The Prelude Girl, gathers 26 raw, melodic poems that honor the hearts left pounding outside.

Grounded in the author’s own experience as a self-described prelude girl, the collection walks through clandestine affection, silent rage, and the quiet return to self. Readers will find solace, solidarity, and a spark of rebellion.

What You’ll Feel Inside

• Recognition—lines that name the hurt you couldn’t.
  

• Release—cadences that breathe for you when words fail.
  

• Renewal—a rallying cry to choose yourself, again and again.
