The author shares intimate conversations with her gynecologist and reflects on her experience of having an abortion alone, revealing the emotional weight of her boyfriend's refusal to sell his guitar for a plane ticket. She explores the sensations of pleasure and grief, from the vivid imagery of her body to the stark reality of loss that leaves her on her kitchen floor. The narrative captures the essence of fleeting moments, like the aroma of espresso and the warmth of an Italian lover, while critiquing the commercialization of spiritualism and urging authenticity over blind faith. She confronts the numbness of grief following a suicide and embraces the liberating experience of surfing naked, conveying the taste of freedom amidst nature's beauty. The collection also delves into her disdain for societal norms, including marriage and politics, as she questions everything and articulates truths often left unspoken. Her radical vulnerability is presented not as bravery, but as common sense. This poetry collection is a heartfelt assembly of poignant stories, whimsical observations, and joyful expressions, inviting readers to explore extraordinary experiences and emerge transformed.
