It’s launched…

The Punctuation of Days is a collection of poetry written in the pauses — captured on café napkins with sleeping babe in arms, scrawled in the dark before sunrise, typed into phone notes on the morning commute.

These poems became my commas, gently punctuating the days with presence and self-reflection.

This book moves through joy, love, grief, loss, motherhood, marriage, and the small, sacred moments that shape us.

This isn’t a book to rush through —
it’s something to keep beside you.
A companion in the quiet.
A gentle map back to what matters.

Hi, I’m Stacey Cotter Manière. I’m a poet, mother, creative director, and yoga practitioner — and I make things that invite us back to presence.

I live in Sydney by the water with my husband and our two spirited daughters and I enjoy shaking hands with the sea and tuning my attention to awe in the everyday.

I wrote this book in the cracks of real life — and I hope it finds its way gently to your heart.
