Captive: A Collection of Poems

By Lindsay Gordon

Inspired by her own journey with chronic migraine, Lindsay Gordon explores the emotional turmoil of experiencing chronic pain. Imprisoned by Pain himself, she ponders the depths of her own suffering, all the while longing to be reunited with her love, Freedom. Despite being trapped in the prison cell of her own body, the hope of release, however small, keeps her fighting.


Captive is an exposé of the injustice of Pain, and aims to shed light on - and increase empathy and understanding for - those who live with chronic pain.

Dear Younger Me: A Reflection in Poetry

By Lindsay Gordon

If you could write a letter to your past self, what would you say? What do you wish you had known growing up that you know now? If you could have warned yourself, what would you do differently? What wisdom would you share that you’ve gained from years of lived experience?


Life is a journey of continually learned lessons. In Dear Younger Me, Lindsay Gordon addresses her inner child with lessons that she’s learned throughout her life, ranging from friendship, love, forgiveness, self worth, relationships, family, and everything in between. Presenting these reflections as a gift to her nieces and nephews, her hope is that looking back on these lessons will show her readers just how far they have come on their own journeys.
