Brief & Bleeding Margins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952952586)

Brief & Bleeding Margins is a raw glimpse into a cis-woman's journey. "Brief" in the smatterings of autobiographical prose that act as (very long) titles to the poems that follow. "Bloody" in the sense that the poet allowed herself to be literal-as a woman: she bleeds and her existence holds that truth to be self-evident. These poems dive into opinions on the current political state of mind (BLOODY POLITICS), girlhood to womanhood transformation (EMERGING, BRIEFLY), pain and beauty of motherhood (MOTHER'S BLOOD), and finally healing through the creative process (BRIEF META-POESY). Brief & Bleeding Margins is for the hurt and healing of the world, because truly we are just the marks in the margins-the scratches and swirls we make when trying to make our pens work again. We are works in progress and you will see yourself in this brief and bleeding history of now.
