You're Going To Be Ok

You’re Going to Be OK by Darby Hudson is a warm, funny collection of hand-typed reflections that sits between poetry, comedy and aphorism—made for anyone who’s ever felt a bit out of step with “normal”.

Written over a decade and gathered late at night by the train tracks, Hudson’s short pieces move through art, jobs, everyday magic and the quiet determination it takes to keep showing up. The result is a series of bite-sized observations that land like a best mate’s honest note: wry, hopeful, and surprisingly sharp. This updated edition includes sixty new poems, adding fresh angles to the book’s gentle encouragement.

Perfect for readers who love contemporary poetry, micro-poems, creative non-fiction, and humour with heart—especially if you enjoy books you can dip into between commutes or tough days.

Add it to your stack for a steady hit of perspective and permission to keep going.
