Words fail us. Words haunt us. Words become us.
In Words Are Just Words, Maylanie Bosgieter explores the quiet moments where language breaks down-where the story we tell about ourselves doesn't match who we're becoming, where memory holds truths we can't quite name, where a single word can carry the weight of an entire family history.
This semi-autobiographical collection weaves together poems about books and reading, family and roots, identity and change, memory and grief. Drawing from her work as a genealogist and lifelong reader, Bosgieter writes with unflinching honesty about what it means to search for yourself in the stories you carry-in family traditions, in the books that shaped you, in the words you choose (or fail to choose) to tell your truth.
From the metaphorical (a tree with missing branches, a winter that's disappearing, a dress that's never just a dress) to the deeply personal (a sister's graduation, a cat's forgiveness, a great-grandmother's legacy), these poems capture different versions of the same human struggle: how to hold on to who we were while becoming who we need to be.
Raw, direct, and deeply felt, this collection reminds us that the ordinary already contains enough wonder-we just have to look carefully enough to find it.
For readers of contemporary poetry, memoir, and anyone who has ever felt lost in translation between the person they were and the person they're becoming.

À propos de l’auteur
Maylanie Bosgieter is a reader, writer, genealogist, and lifelong seeker of stories. With over 1,700 books read and counting, she has spent most of her life inside other people's narratives-learning empathy from characters, discovering truths about herself in fiction, and realizing that the best stories are often the ones we live but forget to tell.
By trade, she is a genealogist, tracing family histories and uncovering the roots that hold us (or refuse to stay still). By passion, she is a poet-though she never set out to be one. Writing found her by accident, born from the necessity of transforming what she's read and lived into something worth saying.
Words Are Just Words is her first poetry collection. It is semi-autobiographical because she hasn't yet learned to separate herself from her words. The poems that fill these pages emerge from real moments-a sister's graduation, a cat's forgiveness, a winter that's disappearing, a family tree with missing branches-and the quiet, persistent question: Who am I becoming?
She writes without formal training and without pretense, believing that meaning is found not by disguising an idea but by looking at it carefully. Her voice is direct, her vision is honest, and her poems ask readers to pause, remember someone they love, reconsider an ordinary object, or feel a little less alone.
When she's not reading or writing, she's likely researching her family's story, thinking about why words matter so much, or wondering what comes next.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
