poetry f*cks ebook | epub + pdf
welcome to the world of poetry f*cks, where we meme in the face of trauma and approach tea mugs sensually.
69 poems (nice), 15 works of art, one hidden message to uncover.
poetry f*cks, as in poetry rules, slaps, owns, rocks, etc.
poetry f*cks, as in we can approach it with abstractions, like all language is, but where it really lives is in the flesh. poetry lives in the dance of our tongues and acoustics of our skulls. the caress of our breath and hot pulse of our blood.
poetry f*cks, as in we're taking a risk when we're vulnerable with someone—which opens possibilities for connection and pleasure.
it is silly. it is also completely serious.
this book is an unmasking and a reimagining—of ourselves and of the whole world. it's a f*ck it, we ball. this is how we get to know our uncensored selves: unfiltered, defiant, tender.
i've written poems on and off since i was a child, but i resisted its call for a long time. i was terrified of being seen trying. i learned it wasn't safe to be myself, so i toned myself down.
no more.
poetry f*cks is a message to my past self, and to anyone else who's staying quiet and small out of fear.
let's f*cking go.
