Composed while working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating medical training during a tumultuous time, and enduring the quieter devastations that life so often brings, these poems trace what it means to remain human under sustained pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe collection explores love, loss, grief, and the everyday ache of being alive, as well as how we attempt to survive within systems that often feel indifferent or cruel. While some poems include references to death and suicide, the work ultimately speaks to those who still feel deeply, even when they fear they no longer do. These poems are an attempt to sit with that emptiness, to name it, and to offer something steady in its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe author is a poet, multimedia artist, English teacher, former healthcare provider, and aspiring scientist based between Boston and Tokyo. She left clinical work after deciding she wanted a life with more room for creativity and reflection. Her work explores survival, memory, trauma, and the quiet, and sometimes not-so-quiet, pains of being alive. This is her first chapbook. In her free time, she enjoys painting, reading, crocheting, aerial silks practice, origami, and looking at strange things under a microscope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emily An Boie 恵美凛蓮","offers":[{"title":"Chapbook","offer_id":50890235347259,"sku":"SURVEAB","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download (PDF)","offer_id":50890235380027,"sku":"SURVEABe","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/4420\/4614\/files\/survivalfront.png?v=1767564094","url":"https:\/\/bottlecap.press\/products\/surveab","provider":"Bottlecap Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
