In a debut both raw and beautiful, Day forges a numinous transcendence of the past by embracing the journey onwards. These poems celebrate finding voice, birthing identity, and not only naming one’s own truth, but also bravely, yet kindly, honoring the voice that names this truth.
– Abigail Shaffer, author of Children of the Country
Leanna’s first book of poems is a beautiful gift to the world, and especially for women. The way she verbalizes the struggles that women continue to face is all at once riveting, disarming and comforting. Leanna writes like she knows and shares your darkest secrets, and you feel deeply heard, deeply seen, deeply felt.
For women that have experienced abuse because of misogynism, Leanna gives voice to sensitive topics such as rape and maltreatment, but also offers radically simple yet powerful ways to reclaim feminine dignity and honor. This collection will spark raw and honest conversations about femininity, spirituality and self-liberation.
