Inherited Hunger

Description

from the bestselling author of my father's eyes, my mother's rage comes a haunting new collection by rose brik about the hunger we inherit. inherited hunger explores the ripple effects of generational trauma— how a mother’s rage, a father’s absence, and a childhood filled with trauma shape the way we live, love, and lose ourselves. these poems dive deep into the mother wound, daddy issues, toxic relationships, and the aching journey of trying to become someone whole. "I have an inherited hunger, passed down from generation to generation, waiting to be satiated. we've reached for men, alcohol, food, and drugs, but nothing could ever fill us up. a child will always be hungry until they are fed with love" - Inherited Hunger
