This collection of poetry follows a lonely sailor, guided by the waves, the winds and the stars. In their solitude, they find solace in rhythm and rhyming.
They are reminded of Greek mythology, wishing for a love like that of Eurydice and Orpheus, wanting to dance with someone to Apollo's music as Artemis watches from the moon. But as they find a love that lasts only a moment, they crash like Icarus out of their daydreams.
With their wings cut, they discover themself anew as a creature of the sea. In the water, they find a love more like themself. Still tentative and fearing another heartbreak, they dare to dance between hope and hesitation so they might just find a harbor, a home, with their lover.

Nin has been writing poetry since they were ten years old. After sorting through all roughly 600 poems they have written since, Nin has now compiled this first collection. In publishing it, they are fulfilling a life-long dream. With Setting Sail, Nin hopes to help their readers struggling with loneliness to find hope, happiness and love both in themselves and others.
