bouquet of thorny rose

bouquet of thorny rose explores the intricacies of living in a deviant body through the intersections of pleasure, trauma, memory, and emotion. This hybrid collection burrows deep into relationships with self, others, and the world to examine, unearth, and name. To tend and prune. You will find stories of violation, reclamation, naked truths and hard-won joy. Written in a time of increasing chronic pain and isolation after the loss of one womb, two jobs, and the lion's share of community connect
