Kristen Costello is a poet, speaker, and mental health advocate who lives in Central New Jersey (yes, it exists!). She is the author of two full-length collections: Tidal Pools and Other Small Infinities and Grey Matters. Her work explores themes such as love, loss, mental health, personal growth, and healing. When she’s not writing, you can find her beach-combing, watching space documentaries, or buying more books than she can carry. Find her on TikTok @kristens_notebook_poetry
