I compiled these poems while faced with a new diagnosis of a chronic illness; I hid away in my room and pounded out my feelings on my laptop’s keyboard. Out of that period of isolation came a willingness to write about things I had shied away from talking about, experiences like religious trauma, sexual assault, eating disorders, closeted queerness, failed relationships and more. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWriting this showed me I was finally capable of shedding not only a decade of impostor syndrome, but also a crushing fear of what it would mean for me if I finally told the world that yes, I am supremely flawed, I am hurt, I am adept at loving deeply.

She grew up in Southeastern Ohio and continues to live there with her two (spoiled) cats and a bunny. When she isn’t writing poetry, she can be found drinking matcha lattes, napping, talking to her friends and family, and crying over things that make her happy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheva Anne Richter","offers":[{"title":"Chapbook","offer_id":45217442922811,"sku":"_DEITSAR","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download (PDF)","offer_id":45217442955579,"sku":"_DEITSAR","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/4420\/4614\/files\/deitiesfront.png?v=1684355829","url":"https:\/\/bottlecap.press\/products\/_deitsar","provider":"Bottlecap Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
