"Unladylike is a captivating collection of prose holding narratives within narratives. The words of Regina Louise impart a profound somatic revelation, engaging the reader to deeply experience the journey made from silence to voice and from obligation to choice. Its excellence transcends description."

— Alison M. Tetrault

"Unladylike is a genre-defiant reckoning of voice, body, and becoming. Regina Louise writes in the tradition of Toni Morrison, Lucille Clifton, and Audre Lorde—fierce and embodied, political and poetic. These are not just poems; they are testimonies, invocations, and reclamations."

— Christine Falcon-Daigle

"Regina's words are a mirror—for myself and for my ancestors. I felt seen, affirmed, and strengthened—a truth-filled collection that gently brings you back to what was always yours."

— Christine Falcon-Daigle

"Brilliant. Heartbreaking. Heartening. Vitally important. Regina's groundbreaking words are like ladled water from a sacred well. America, world, sit down. Read, listen. Prepare to be moved, outraged, uplifted and changed."

— Susan Wooldridge

"These poems traverse trauma, resilience, and radical self-love. With a voice both vulnerable and commanding, Louise offers readers a map back to themselves—language that cuts through myth, silence, and shame to lay bare the truth of becoming."

— Laura Jenkins
