About The Book
The Room You Kept Locked is a collection of poems about love, desire, memory, loss, and the unfinished parts of a life.
Moving between past and present, tenderness and regret, these poems explore the people we carry with us, the words we never said, and the dreams we thought we had left behind.
At sixty-eight, Steven Crayne began writing poetry again. This book represents a new beginning, for the author as well as for the reader.

A Note to the Reader
Thank you.
I hope somewhere in these pages you find a memory, a smile, a tear, or perhaps even a small piece of yourself.
