edit data

Lina Malskies is a writer from the north of Germany.

From the age of fifteen, her main form of writing has been poetry, of which she has published Who I Am Comes In Waves (2023) and the butterfly effect(2021).

Where the butterfly effect focuses more on her teenage years, growing pains, love, rejection and finding a place for oneself, her sophomore book Who I Am Comes In Waves also explores girlhood, religious motives and the essence of what it even means to be a poet.

The young author is currently working on a contemporary novel and projects for Manic Mind Poetry

Didn’t like the writing much at first but what got me is the reality of also just being a Gemini barista and poet, trying to love a Pisces man with destructive substance abuse issues 🫡
