Shy Anger: A Poetry Collection In Three Parts

What is anger – and why do we try so hard to ignore it?

As a debut poetry collection, the free-verse poetry in Shy Anger offers a duality between domesticity and wilderness, depression and joy. This feminist poetry collection of 100 poems divided into three parts as the wanderer explores anger, agency, and acceptance. Intertwined are images that span across time, spirituality, and geography.

Sample Poem:

back to simple things

there were three of us.
ankle-deep in creek water,
humidity so high
you’d think you were drowning,
but all we could taste was summer.
narrow water veins stretched
across a vast unknown
which we later learned
led to the interstate,
at that moment.
locked between silver metal fences
that public backwater was a moat
and we were on a pilgrimage to youth.
