Some women build armor so quietly they forget it is armor. They call it competence. They call it resilience. They call it being fine. Porcupine Prayers is a poetry collection for the woman who knows what her quills are really made of.
In four movements, this collection moves through the full arc of a woman's inner life: the armor built in hard seasons, the tenderness kept carefully hidden underneath, the reaching toward something larger than survival, and the long, brave work of becoming more fully herself.
In four movements, this collection moves through the full arc of a woman's inner life: the armor built in hard seasons, the tenderness kept carefully hidden underneath, the reaching toward something larger than survival, and the long, brave work of becoming more fully herself.
These are poems about the cost of making yourself small and the particular courage it takes to stop. About love that survived the years it was supposed to. About the home you were afraid you would not get to have. About building something that scares you in the quiet hours before the world wakes up. About faith that is not the absence of doubt but the refusal to be undone by it.
Porcupine Prayers is also, in its truest sense, a book about the writing itself. The quill as armor and as instrument. The decision to take the sharpest thing about you and use it to make something real.
This is not a book about having arrived. It is a book about the arriving. The daily, imperfect, courageous practice of a woman who is soft in the place where it counts and will no longer apologize for it.
