We have all been heartbroken. Whether by a person or an event, we all know this crippling feeling of loss. In her inaugural collection of poetry, Megan Davis takes us on the journey of a person trying to make sense of life utilizing her own personal heartbreak. In the immediacy of this hurt, she takes that visceral pain and acrimony that she feels toward someone else, and turns it on herself to excavate these pieces inside and the intersections of the things that makes her who she is. Stripping back one layer at a time, and ultimately using this cataclysmic experience, not as a moment for life to break her, but as an opportunity to break herself open and examine which pieces of herself are true and authentic, which pieces have been placed there from society and which pieces she can free herself from altogether. This is a story about love, but not about loving another person – a story about loving yourself enough to heal and be free.
