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.
