Sloan Butler returns with another deeply emotional journey in an evocative companion piece to her breakthrough title, "every feeling is big." In "fragile things," Butler revisits themes of love, loss, recovery, and belonging through a compelling collection of poetry and prose. With unflinching honesty and vivid imagery, each piece in "fragile things" captures the essence of fleeting moments and the lasting impact they leave on us, as well as the difficult healing process required to move past trauma and heartbreak. "fragile things" is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost profoundly, and sought solace in the written word. It speaks to those who have felt the sting of unreciprocated love, the weight of unspoken words, and the resilience required to heal our deepest emotional scars. TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains sensitive topics such as death, sexual violence, child abuse, intrusive thoughts about self-harm/suicide, and drug/alcohol abuse/addiction; this title may not be appropriate for all people or all ages.
