Death Will Be Our Curfew

Poems

Beschreibung

Amber Showalter's third collection of poetry journeys through the five stages of grief in Cinderella-style, counting down to midnight. ¿¿Written by a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner who was also on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19, Death Will Be Our Curfew lays bare every emotion of mourning. With lyricism and dark beauty, Showalter's poems, accompanied by Viktoriya Samoylov's evocative art, capture loss in its many forms: the loss of a relationship, a friendship, memories, normalcy, the self. With her verses recounting the breadth and gravity of sorrow, Showalter is a "blonde-haired, blue-eyed harbinger of death" as midnight approaches. By the time the clock strikes twelve, the reader will feel both the anguish of grief and the strength to rise to a greater future.

Autor

Born to be a rock star but also born completely tone-deaf, Amber Showalter learned early on to use the written word as a weapon, as an epitaph, as her own spoken siren song. A self-proclaimed type A personality and grown-up punk, Amber currently makes a living as a pandemic nurse fighting COVID-19, in addition to her crime-fighting side gig as a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner). She has been writing poetry since she was fifteen. This is her third collection. Her first book, "The Carrion of Songs," is a mixture of her writing styles over the course of two decades and is divided into two parts in a cause-and-effect style. Her second book, "Esteem Punk," is a collection of her earliest poems that take the reader on a dark journey.
