Description
Brute is a fiery and hypnotic debut collection that confronts dark questions around gender, sexuality, and violence. Emily Skaja's poems are a powerful exploration of survival, self-discovery, and reinvention.
The speaker of these poems navigates multiple identities - sorceress, bride, warrior, lover - each one facing its own set of ideas about feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage. As the poems progress, they close in on a hard-won freedom, affirming their right to exist and express themselves.
This timely collection has won the Walt Whitman Award and introduces an unforgettable voice that insists on the truth of its words and its own existence.
