Welcome / 2025

Greetings Visitor! Nanu-Nanu.
The weirdo behind this organized nonsense is Tinamarie Cox. You'll usually find me around the internet with the handle @tinamariethinkstoomuch. Sometimes I find it a great disadvantage to be a human. Regardless, I am a carbon-based life form whose base of operations is on Earth. I am a woman, wife, mother, moody melomaniac, and a daydreamer (among other things) with aspirations to do more than just exist in the universe. I love writing poetry and short stories, but rarely stick to a single genre. I'm not the type of person who can set themselves to only one thing (there are too many things to like and do!). When I can't put words together in a coherent manner, I paint, draw, take pictures of random things, read, and listen to music. My head is usually in the clouds thinking about the next creative project. In my free time, I am a Reader for Querencia Press and Poetry Reader for As Alive Journal. And I'm grateful to have been a part of Phoenix Oasis Press's POP 2025 Anthology reading panel this year. I hope to use these valuable experiences in my future projects. If you meet me in person, you'll find me shy and reserved. I'm introverted and anxious about everything, so hang in there while I warm up to you. I don't bite... usually. Please utilize the navigation tabs, buttons, and links to explore the site and my work (and note that it's best viewed on a desk/laptop). Fingers crossed, you'll like it more than you don't. But if you don't, that's okay, too. I'd like to consider this page a small glimpse into my head. It's complicated and it's not for everyone. |
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist. ~Oscar Wilde |

CollectionsNEW for 2026: A numbers game
A Numbers Game is Tinamarie Cox’s follow-up poetry collection to Through a Sea Laced with Midnight Hues. Where Midnight Hues focused on traveling through a depressive episode, A Numbers Game dives deeper and explores the beginnings of her mental health struggles. Her second book is an in-depth look at the emotional and psychological aspects surrounding her suicide attempt at age 19. Learn More Here 2025: Through a sea laced with midnight hues
Through A Sea Laced With Midnight Hues /2025 Through A Sea Laced With Midnight Hues is my first full-length poetry collection published with Nymeria Publishing in February 2025. Through a Sea Laced with Midnight Hues dives into the mentality and emotions that can overtake a person during a depressive episode. This is a journey alongside mental illness via poetry and prose which includes a raw account of the ups, downs, and hopelessness. Travel through a sea laced with midnight hues and find hope on dry land with the sunrise. Chapbooks2023: Self-destruction in small doses
