Musician and dancer Natalie Gilbert reminds us that healing is a multi-step process through her vulnerable collection of poems and photographs, water that leaves me desperate.
The people, places, and things that shape us can also leave lasting wounds. Through intimate reflection on coping with mental illness, abuse, and loss we are provided a nuanced exploration of Natalie's experiences and relationships that asks us to consider our own. A true lesson in acceptance of the self and the past, water that leaves me desperate. asks us to realize emotion in new ways and sit with our discomfort.
I spill milk and I cry
But I spill my heart the same
To bite my tongue
Since some things have to spill to be seen
-- from water that leaves me desperate.
These deeply personal and widely resonant stories are sure to leave readers reconsidering memories and experiences in a new manner. The collection of striking water-themed images that accompanies the poems compliments thematic elements and captures nature in intriguing ways.
