Write Bloody Publishing
My, My, My, My, My by Tara Hardy
My, My, My, My, My by Tara Hardy
Hardy’s collection begins at the edge of uncertainty, where a life-changing diagnosis turns everything familiar upside down. When the future stops looking the way it was supposed to, these poems search through fear, grief, and the vibrant hope of being led to begin again. This is not a collection about giving up. Hardy finds wonder in the body, the natural world, and the people around her.
A heartrending collection about survival against all odds.
Listen, there was a day before
you were yourself. There will be a day
after. This is what is
called eternity. It’s the only thing we get to keep
forever.
