I wish I had discovered this poet, this collection sooner. She put words to feelings I’ve been holding for ages with no language available to express them. I am so grateful for this exploration into abuse and violence and the capability for righteous defiance to it through the continued act of love. I’ll be thinking about this for the rest of my life.

I just came here to have a good time but I feel called out. This book was somehow written at me but also about me but also in my point of view but also by someone who has no idea who I am. That's how much I related to this book. Now this. This is one of the best poetry books I've read in a while. 10000% deserves the 5 stars I'm giving it.
