Not Loud Still Unapologetic: Life Seen & Heard from Beautiful Souls

<p><i>Not Loud Still Unapologetic</i> is a poetry collection that examines how women are taught to negotiate their bodies silence and endurance in everyday life. Moving from girlhood to adulthood the poems trace experiences of being watched corrected diagnosed misread and expected to adjust. They speak of pain that goes unnamed intimacy that demands endurance and resistance that does not announce itself. Refusing sentimentality or easy resolution the collection offers recognition rather than answers. These poems do not seek permission or validation; they remain present honest and unapologetic.</p>
