Unapologetically Raw: The Darkness Inside Her

Miranda Holman weaves together a collection of poems to create a beautifully complicated story with unnamed female characters at the center. The poems are laid out in two sections "existing" and "embracing" while being unapologetic for tackling issues such as sexual assault, mental illness, sexual orientation, sorrow and death in her poetry. Holman's poems discuss acceptance of oneself while telling the stories of women's willingness to embrace the darkness inside them and be unapologetically raw.
