Description
A haunting, lyrical collection by Tori Bovalino, this book explores what it means to speak from the body—when language feels raw, urgent, and exposed. Across poems that move between intimacy and confrontation, the speaker confronts grief, desire, and survival, tracing how trauma can both silence and sharpen the voice. With vivid imagery and a fearless emotional candor, the work examines the body as a site of memory and the throat as a metaphor for risk: the place where truth is offered, withheld, or forced into the open. Blending intensity with precision, these poems invite readers to witness the complicated pathways from pain to agency, and from silence to song.
