“You say I am not a bird trapped in a cage, but you were the one who clipped my wings.“
The Lady of the House takes care of her man. She feeds him, launders his clothes, and washes the dishes.
But who takes care of Lady?
She’s had enough. Through poetry and recipes, we follow Lady’s discontent in her unfulfilling marriage. We watch her go through and live through trauma. And we watch her handle it.
This poetry collection had me in tears. A lot of us can relate to Lady—she’s taken advantage of. She’s under appreciated. She’s not allowed to live her own life.
All for a man, with another woman’s perfume on his collar.
