'Love lodged itself in my throat as a truth unacknowledged, but in order to survive, I had to grow around it. I had to bloom without you.'bloom is a collection that explores heartbreak through the personal and political. These poems play with poetic form using nature imagery to weave a narrative of romance, social injustice, loss, and healing. This chapbook is a testament to the power of vulnerability, bearing one’s deepest pains, and living to tell the tale.
