I read this book as a pre-release e-book obtained through NetGalley, provided by the publisher.

Poems of different styles, each with a stark rawness about something about being in a woman's body or living as a woman in today's world.

This work was unlike any that Ive taken in.... It was complex, yet I completely understood each piece and yet was left in the end with some wonder. I had no idea what Dyspareunia was, but I think now I have a pretty damn good understanding. I know this person so well, through only just a few words. THAT IS TALENT.

A ton of religious innuendo that left me curious .. just a few things that left me with questions ..
'Poem in which I expand' was probably my favorite

Thank you to Querencia Press, Ellie White, and Netgalley for a digital copy in exchange for my review.

I am so thankful to Querencia Press, Ellie White, and Netgalley for granting me advanced digital access to this gorgeous collection of poems before it hits the public on February 16, 2024.

I loved the simplicity yet the complexity of each narrative, verse by verse, leading me to have questions while also knowing the MC so well. I was transported within the prose and catapulted into a world of crashing oceans and unsure goodbyes. I couldn't get enough and wish this one was a bit longer.
