Summary

This program is read by Mary Lambert and includes original music exclusive to the audiobook.  

Beautiful and brutally honest, Mary Lambert's poetry is a beacon to anyone who's ever been knocked down - and picked themselves up again. In verse that deals with sexual assault, mental illness, and body acceptance, Ms. Lambert emerges as an important new voice in poetry, providing strength and resilience even in the darkest of times.

The most incredible collection of poems

I struggle to see how any other poetry collection will ever top this.

Just perfect.
