We learn to love the way we learn to swim-by watching others perform the motions, replicating their form, until the body automates what the mind never had a chance to examine.
Love, Conditioned traces what happens when the strategies that once kept us safe as children become the very thing that isolates us as adults. The accommodation reflex. The preemptive apology. The silence mistaken for peace. The self-awareness so fluent it circles back into avoidance.
These poems move without sentimentality through the territory most people recognize but few name with this kind of precision: conditioned intimacy, the relationships we maintain through habit long after feeling has stepped away, the slow erosion of desire into duty, the friendships held at careful distance because honesty would end them. The choice to stay with someone without certainty-and the decision to call that commitment rather than fear.
This is not a book about healing, and it makes no promises about what clarity costs or where it leads. It is the poetry of living with what you already know about yourself: sharp-eyed, unsentimental, and stubbornly honest about the distance between understanding a pattern and breaking it.
For anyone who has spent years fluent in other people's needs, and is now, slowly, learning to translate their own.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
