Description

Blud is a powerful collection of poems that breathe life into language, forging a unique voice that is both urgent and controlled. Rachel McKibbens explores the ways in which inherited things - bloodlines, mental illnesses, trauma - affect their inheritors.

Through her dark, rhythmic poetry, McKibbens takes on difficult topics with selfless honesty, creating spaces of witness for those often swept under the rug. Her writing is a testament to the importance of poetry as a means of testimony and healing.

This collection is a testament to McKibbens' skill as a poet and activist, who has founded The Pink Door, an annual writing retreat open exclusively to women of color. With Blud, she reminds us why poetry matters in our lives.
