Dismantled Damsel by Kamp Woods

4.0

Dismantled Damsel is a poetry collection by Kamp Woods which finds its strength through raw emotion. Her poems are crafted around themes of gender, sexuality, race, and culture. These are all highly charged topics, and therefore, evoke a wide range of feelings for the reader. As a fellow poet, I am easily able to journey with her through pain, burning questions, and her deconstruction. I empathize with her. I experience her roller coaster of emotions. Her poetry is further complimented by unusual and visceral artwork. The drawings included in this collection support the overall tone as well as create a more powerful reflection on the themes within.
