Some words refuse to stay silent.
Shay's Tangled Thoughts: Between Breaking and Becoming is a poetry collection that gives language to the places silence once lived - the wounds we carry quietly, the love we give fiercely, the faith we hold onto desperately, and the becoming we earn one hard day at a time.
Through four powerful movements - Origins & Identity, The Sacred & the Sensual, Wounds & Reckoning, and Renewal & Becoming - poet and Army veteran Shuaronda Loney moves through the full landscape of a woman's interior life. She writes about race and heritage, desire and devotion, trauma and survival, grief and grace - with a voice that is raw, honest, and completely unafraid.
This collection is for the woman who has been renamed, redefined, and reduced - and who is finally ready to reclaim her own story.
For the one who has loved deeply and been hurt deeply.
For the one still learning that healing is not the absence of pain, but the courage to feel it anyway.
Shay's Tangled Thoughts is more than poetry. It is testimony. It is permission. It is proof that even tangled things can become beautiful when given room to breathe.
Turning survival into language.
