I really liked this, but WOW are these poems packed with trauma. Inter-generational colonial/settler/residence school trauma, foster care trauma, gender trauma, sex work trauma. I had to read this book in short sips and then take breaks to read other things. Please check the CWs for this one.
My favorite poem in the collection was the first one, "Sea glass"
My favorite poem in the collection was the first one, "Sea glass"
how often you find me
smooth & soft
after being torn through
countless grains of trauma;
coping.
you only like me then.
