An electrifying collection of poems that makes your heart sing

Other text

Alongside the tender, heart-breaking moments, there's humour and a visceral energy. These poems transport you, there's something primal in their intimacy… Berry doesn't hold anything back with this collection, its beauty lies in her willingness to embrace the unspoken, the hidden…the wisdom and insight within its pages to be passed around amongst those finding their way into their new identity
