rescue a whisper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995426547)

Some whispers are still shackled-dying to be released. In her debut collection, Christabelle traces the imperceptible curve of The Change Cycle, from blind optimism through the valley of despair into the fire that keeps her alive, in poems about trauma, grief, abuse, fractured love, and faith wrestled to the ground. These poems move between confession and defiance, survival and softness, clenched fists and trembling faith, between the child who witnessed and the woman who chose ink over silence. Unflinching and tender, raw and rhythmic-full of lullabies that escape as bullets and bedsheets that become oceans at 2:18 am. For anyone whose body still remembers what the mouth refused to say. rescue a whisper is what happens when the silence finally breaks.
