  • Delicate Perspectives — A moving union of poetry and photography that illuminates feelings both deeply personal yet universally relatable. Teen author Aby May Joyner bravely explores the stress, beauty, and romance of life and offers readers the comforting reassurance that they are not alone in these shared experiences. Sold at Jabberwocky Bookstore and online. Published in 2023.
  • Womanhood Elucidated — A collection that explores womanhood through a blend of poetry and photography. It begins with black and white portraits taken with a Bronica film camera, inspired by Sally Mann, and ends with vibrant digital color photos. Each of the 21 images is paired with lush, Whitman-esque poetry that reveals the depth and complexity of the women portrayed, offering a rich reflection on their shared humanity and diverse experiences. Sold at Jabberwocky Bookstore and online. Published in 2024.
