Let Me Be Real is a lyrical autopsy of heartbreak, identity, and the sacred mess of becoming. Amanda Kelly guides readers through the wreckage of codependent love, through hostels and holy lands, into the liminal space between undoing and emergence.
Across continents and collapsed relationships, these poems breathe through grief's tight spaces-softly asking what it means to survive a love that almost consumed you, and what it takes to come back to yourself in the aftermath.
With wit, clarity, and haunting specificity, Amanda's debut collection is a devotion to the women we've been, the ghosts we've chased, and the version of ourselves we finally choose. For anyone who's ever overstayed, overgiven, or been told they were too much-this book is a hand on your back saying: you're not too much. You're becoming.
