bits and pieces, by mia rae

Poetry, prose, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

bits and pieces is a debut collection of poetry bound together with the glue of late nights and the whims of a teenage girl.

I would like to say the world did not end when I was 15, but it did. Over and over and over again. Each time it did I picked up the pieces, and put them back in places I never thought they’d fit. Each page of this chapbook is a point in time when my world ended. Each word in this chapbook was me putting the pieces back in places I never thought they’d fit.
