This collection is powerful, honest, and beautifully written. The poems are sharp and emotional, with a voice that’s both strong and deeply vulnerable. Some made me stop and sit with feelings I didn’t expect—others made me smile in recognition or admiration.

Byas writes with clarity and fire, and the way she blends personal experience with cultural truth is remarkable. I felt like I was being let into something intimate, and I’m grateful for that.

Highly recommend—this is poetry that teaches, stirs, and shines.

This was such a beautiful set of poems and each one pulls a different feeling out of you .You can tell the author put a lot of real emotion and thought into each poem.
