“Heart First”

Hi there,

My name is Theeba author of the book “Heart First”

I’m based out of Toronto but have lived in Germany and London. I share my lived experience through poetry in the hopes to heal my inner child.

After moving out of my childhood environment, I discovered parts of me that I didn’t know existed. I spent several years navigating my early 20s without understanding where anxiety came from. Over time, with a lot of research and therapy, I am on my path of healing my inner child.

Here’s what folks have to say

    I loved this book by Theeba!!! I am very new to this world of poems, and how this was written made it easy for me (a newbie) to understand and feel what the author was saying. Often when times are dark, we stay there longer than we need to because we don't have others to share experiences with. This book, while sad at times, left me feeling very hopeful. I can't wait for the next book!

  • Karin Comas

    Heart First is like a hug in a book! The first time through I honestly cried my eyes out. It's full of beautiful poems that I read over and over again.I read Heart First when I'm sad, I read it when I'm happy, I read it when I'm anxious. Every time I go through it I see a different perspective and the poems hit me different. They're are so beautiful and touching that I've book marked a few to be able to easily come back to them.Thank you Theeba for creating this piece of art!

    Theeba’s writing is vulnerable and inspiring. I’m really looking forward to reading more of her storytelling through poetry in the future.

    Nothing but applause and awe for Theeba's first body of work! This book was eagerly purchased after years of following her poetry online (@theebachuci_). Theeba's poems are short, sweet, and always packing a punch of 'right-in-the-feels'. She has the gift of encapsulating complex thoughts and emotions with her work, distilling them into clear and succinct words.Heart First takes the reader through the deep pangs of emotion that come with complex relationships and childhoods. Her book puts into words the feelings of grappling with the fallout and turmoil stemming from challenging family dynamics as well as personal emotional struggles.
