Lasso the Breath is a raw and dauntless collection of poems that delves into the darkest corners of the human experience. Spanning over a decade of the author's life, this chronicle mirrors the transformative journey of Dante's Divine Comedy, guiding readers through a profound and redemptive odyssey. Through her poetry, Kristin pays homage to the style of Beat Generation poets such as Diane Di Prima, Denise Levertov, and Lenore Kandel. With unflinching candor, she explores the perils of addiction, confronts the specter of death, and poses existential questions that seek answers in the swirling expanse of the universe. Interwoven throughout the book are poignant tales of heartbreak and compassionate warnings to fellow women. The result is a collection infused with a fierce determination to survive, one that invites readers to confront the abyss, and in doing so, to discover glimmers of hope.
