Do Not Bring Him Water by Caitlin Scarano

5.0

“I drained the gentleness from myself as if bleeding a boar.”

Wow. Trauma, grief, despair, and reincarnation all told via haunting metaphors of nature, animals, and gender. I found this collection deeply raw. This is a series I will certainly need to revisit again and again to fully appreciate the language Scarano uses.
