We partnered with Valentino to turn Valentine’s Day into poetry, giving lovers bespoke handwritten letters from Dream Baby Press poets.


Dream Baby Press x ValentinoValentine’s Day2025


Brontez Purnell

My love for you
burns brighter
than a thousand
suns.
So enamored
I would chug
a chalis of your
dirty bath
water.


Mackenzie Thomas

Knowing You
has stretched me into shapes
I didnt know I could make.

My funhouse mirror.

How beautiful it is to be seen
as so much more.
Jemima Kirke

I guess
this is goodbye
Im gonna miss you
But I know
I’ll see you
in hell.
Matt Starr

I wanna
lick your
fingers
one by one
until I’m full
Coco Mellors

I HAVE SPENT 
MY LIFE COLLECTING
WORDS,

BUT WHEN IT COMES
TO LOVE,
I’VE FOUND ONLY THREE
ARE NEEDED:

YOU, ALWAYS, YOU
Jerry Stahl

I LOVE EVERY
DIRTY SECRET YOU
WILL NEVER KNOW
I KNOW.
I LOVE THE DARKEST
PARTS OF YOU
THAT NO ONE WILL
EVER BREATHE
BUT ME.
