2025 i experienced unprecidented growing pains.
between surviving the deaths of my first love, grandmama, and my beloved cat, Mooney, creating healthy boundaries to distance myself from jobs and enviornments i had once prayed for, walking a new journey of sobriety and struggling thru the profound physical, mental, and emotion pain of still standing from ALL’O’DAT, i had a choice. be crushed or find a glimmer.
choosing the latter, i grasped and held that glimmer, making 8.5×11 collages. then, i chopped up those beautiful works of my hands and kept creating bc that’s what life does sometimes. those double-collaged covers each became a one-of-a-kind piece of art as the covers of 2020FUCK that you see here. the poetry on the inside, the same in each book, is more vulnerable and raw that i’ve ever published before, holding the same tender glimmer that held me: small but wholly unbreakable.
okayyy, but—what is it?
an extremely limited edition book of poetry
one-of-a-kind cover, same poetry on the inside
made by River’s hands, following the lineage of my handmade and handbound works, “rivermouth 2020", “lovebomb 2023", & “darkness dancing 2024”
this poetry is me confronting the demons i’ve faced, lost, and which still haunt me and our society head-on. it’s not for everyone, and i’m okay with that.
is this work of my spirit for you?
