Laurin Atkinson writes to explore identity, memory, and the frameworks we build to make sense of ourselves. Her work is grounded in reflection, shaped by curiosity, and drawn toward the connections hiding beneath the obvious.
THE WORK
The Pieces We Gather
A memoir told in moments, The Pieces We Gather traces the shape of a life through memory as it unfolds outside of chronology.
Structured around the Tarot's Major Arcana, the collection moves through essays on childhood, identity, marriage, and grief - exploring the stories we inherit, the ones we rewrite, and what it means to make a life of what we carry.
Told with insight and structural curiosity, The Pieces We Gather offers a portrait of becoming that's as layered and scatterheld as the stories we live.

Fragments: Stories from the Echoes and Edges
Fragments: Stories from the Echoes and Edges is a nonlinear memoir built like an emotional encyclopedia.
Fifty-six entries, each tied to a card from the Tarot's Minor Arcana. The quieter half of the deck. The everyday bullshit that doesn't look like transformation - but still is.
These stories trace memory, pattern, and meaning across parenting, attachment theory, forgotten etymologies, emotional overfunctioning - and the tangents that make everything rearrange itself.
The edges don't line up. But they still belong together.
