Wildfire From Hell: Poetry and Prose - Paperback

by Tessa Glasgow (Author)

Tessa Glasgow's collection of poetry doesn't fit inside of any beautiful poetic box. Each one of her pieces are unique, dark and gut punching works based in reality. This collection is one hundred plus pages void of expected poetry clichés. There are no mentions of red roses and thorns. There are no pages dedicated to the moon and storms. You won't find a piece about a phoenix rising from the ashes, there's not butterfly kisses or romance novel passages.

So, what will you find in the pages from her mind?

You'll digest ominous metaphors weaved into graphic descriptions of narcissistic abuse, past traumas, mental struggles, chronic pain and bad ass attitude. You'll discover vulnerability in her stories of being broken and bruised. There's strength in her prose and how she's pushed through. Her style is dark, and her subject is always truth. You'll find she never writes under a mask of societal perfection and there's nothing quite like her no-nonsense perceptions. Her poetry isn't soft, it's as jagged as she is, because it's based in experience, not curated from fantasy land.
