A Fragile Thing with Fangs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218900359)

This is more than a love letter to the body that almost killed her...

This is a poetry collection born from surviving the brink of death. It delves into the reality of her blood clots, the fear, a hint of courage, and a touch of dark humor about trying to stay alive. These poems bite, snarl, ache, and drag illness into the fluorescent lights of her hospital room. They force you take a closer look. These poems bear witness to what is alive beneath the surface of a body that has turned into a battlefield. It's full of poetry that's sharp, darkly funny, and hauntingly beautiful. The writing is tender and vicious and unflinching in its truth. She somehow transformed the emotional shrapnel of almost dying into art. At its core, this book is about a survivor who's done apologizing for taking up space. It's part medical drama, part manic energy, and all feral heart.
