You know that feeling when you're the saddest you've ever been... and somehow the most alive?
A Girl Is A Body In The Cold is an electrifying, melancholic, and cinematic debut about girlhood. About the experience of emotional labor, heartbreak, mythology, and the violence of existing in a woman's body.
The poems explore what it means to feel too much in a world that punishes softness. About wanting to be a tree instead of a girl. About loving men who refuse to grow up without you raising them. About Greek Gods and red Ferraris and fairies and all the small beautiful things which matter to us that the world thinks are stupid and silly.
This is for every woman who's been called "too sensitive." For anyone who's ever wished someone would say the quiet part loud about what it costs a woman to stay soft in a terrifying world.
A Girl Is A Body In The Cold takes readers through the electrifying hope and tender heartbreak of being a young woman.
Perfect for anyone who loves Mary Oliver's attention to beauty in small things and Taylor Swift's ability to make girlhood feel mythological.
