Awake to Listen (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These poems trace the curve of a woman's body through innocence lost, to love found, to love forgotten. The words herein describe a world in which love is a temporary comfort, and the only true solace is ourselves. From themes of violation and violence; to worship, lust, and careful desire, Awake to Listen takes you on a sensual voyage through sex, rot, and sleep. You're never certain if you're meant to be dreaming, waking, or in that in-between space, watching motes of dust float lazily in the sunlight. That is the magic of M. Chastain Flournoy's work. She touches something inside you that is dirty and base without making you feel unholy. Her honest look at her own relationships and mental health, along with her tragic longing to be cared for speak to us all.

Autorenporträt

M. Chastain Flournoy is a queer, non-binary, femme human who lives with a disability and donates her functional time to life and relationship coaching, speaking, podcasting and education. She works within the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, and BDSM communities of central Virginia. Poetry is a form of selfish expression that she embraces wholly as self-care. She shares these words with the world because she believes the darkness and light in her soul touch the darkness and light in others. When she's not helping others nor writing, Chastain is a mindfulness andTantra practitioner, a Domina, a lover, an amateur plant-enthusiast, and watcher of murder shows. She'll tell you that her lane is to upset the status quo, troll, and to comfort others as they delve into their own shadow work. You can read short fiction by her at Black Heart Magazine and The Elephant Journal. She lives in Virginia, US with her polyamory pod and her terrible dog, Oliver.
