Seraphina Blackwell is a poet based in Tampa, Florida. Through Blackwell House, she writes Gothic-inspired poetry exploring love, grief, mental illness, healing, and the quiet beauty found in surviving life's darkest seasons. Her work invites readers into candlelit rooms, forgotten corridors, and midnight landscapes where sorrow and hope exist side by side. Her collections are not written to be rushed through or left on a shelf after a single reading. They are meant to be returned to—to meet you differently as you grow, to offer comfort in seasons of grief, hope in moments of darkness, and words for the feelings that are often seem hardest to name. Whether opened to the first page or to a single poem at random, each collection is intended to become a companion rather than simply a book—a place to return to when the world feels heavy, when you need reminding of who you are, or when you simply need to know that someone else has stood where you stand. Because poetry is not always something we finish. Sometimes, it is something we carry with us. Welcome to Blackwell House.
