oh, hi :) i’m Sonja!


i’m a Canadian/American poet and author of two poetry collections: Where the Beetle Went for Lunch and mortal atlas. my third book will arrive in 2025 [!!]

velvet reverie is a portal for poetry and poetic prose exploring sensuality, memory, grief, and the infinite wonders of moss. this is a soft, myth-woven space for the seekers, the feral ones, and those fluent in dream-logic.

my work lives at the intersection of transcendentalism, mysticism, modern society, and the ache of existence. when not writing, you’ll find me haunting little-known corners of the globe — or curled beneath an old cedar tree in search of wild mushrooms.

here in velvet reverie, i etch bits of my soul into the internet ether, in hopes that something lands with you. ꩜⋆.°

what you’ll find here:

  • poems and poetic essays

  • audiobook & book sneak peeks

  • voice notes and podcast episodes

  • behind-the-scenes from my art & publishing life

  • tips on self-publishing for poets & indie authors

paid subscribers get full access to the archive and bonus content every 1–2 weeks. free subscribers still get occasional poems and updates, too :)

i’m so glad you’re here — tuck into a mossy grove & get cozy! <3



stay in the loop

all my love,
Sonja
