This book of poetry shows how much McKibbens has gone through in her life. She is not a victim. She is a survivor. She doesn’t flinch from the difficult realities of the abuse, generational trauma, and mental illness she has experienced. She turns them instead into vivid and sometimes violently beautiful words.
