Let Want Be Hunger is a collection that devours the reader and refuses to be tamed. These poems explore the brutality of survival be it bodily, emotional, or systemic. Let Want Be Hunger allows desire and deprivation to blur into one. Women's bodies are battlefields, hunger is both need and weapon, and submission is a lie sold under the guise of salvation. Through visceral language, mythological reclamation, and unflinching critique, this collection dismantles the forces that demand silence: misogyny, economic violence, medical neglect, generational trauma, and forced compliance.
Here, hunger is more than emptiness-it is a demand, a reckoning. Teeth sink into love and loss alike, the dead are never quiet, and even survival has a price. Whether through the transformation of Clytie into a sunflower, the weight of a poverty-wracked nation, or the final defiant bite of an apple, Let Want Be Hunger is a manifesto of desire and refusal. No one leaves untouched. No one leaves full.
