This week’s #bookqw “Word of the week” is crush. I knew there’d be something that involved crushing in my poetry chapbook, and I was not disappointed. This is an excerpt from a larger poem titled “Adjustments” which is all about dealing with being healthy, for perhaps the first time in my life. I have, of course, moved on from there… but it was quite a turning point.

The book makes a great Christmas gift for someone you love, or you could buy it for yourself.
