Emma K. Shockley

A darkly textured collection of poetry exploring themes of belonging, mental health, eroticism, magic, bloodlines, death, and love. Let It Sustain You is an engrossing deep dive into the aspects of the human condition which we often prefer to leave unlit:  The politics of home and belonging The aftermath of trauma Sensuality The mysterious power underpinning existence The burden and blessing of inheritance and legacy The ever-present interplay between love and loss  Pulsing with soft ferocity, this collection of autobiographical poetry will be enjoyed by readers who feel deeply and yearn for their darkest shadows to be held gently.
