The Third Self

In their debut poetry collection, The Third Self (SMATR press, 2023), Paige delves into the creative process with honesty and vulnerability, highlighting the highs and lows of artistic expression.

Divided into three sections - the act of creation, imposter syndrome and creative identity - the collection offers a unique perspective on the journey of creative self-discovery. Through their words, Paige speaks directly to the universal struggle of overcoming the fear of failure and the constant pressure to be productive, encouraging readers to embrace the journey of creativity rather than just focus on the end result.
