    “Book Descriptions: “Hannah writes poetry that you’ll want to quote and read aloud to the people you love.” - Michelle Porter, author of Approaching Fire

    Forming a narrative of one woman’s journey to adulthood from the ages of six to twenty-one, the poetry of Hannah Jenkins is an uncompromising look into the grace, torment, and beauty of all things feminine. The goal of the book is
    to neither demonize nor glorify any one age of its storyteller but instead to retroactively insert kindness into the unrest of ageing and say to the ever-growing, ever-healing child in all of us: I hear you.

    One night, my ancestors tuck me into bed leave a kiss-shaped burn mark,
    tell me what I owe my daughters.

    One day, they say, she will come to you
    to know her worth
    and you tell her she is resilient.

    Tell her she is smart
    and brave
    and steadfast
    and there is a fire in her belly.

    Tell her she is just like her mother.”
