A Little Feral by Maria Giesbrecht
A Little Feral by Maria Giesbrecht
In A Little Feral, Maria Giesbrecht delivers a personal resurrection, quietly rebellious and devastatingly vulnerable.
Written in the aftermath of leaving a conservative Mennonite upbringing, these poems chart a parallel journey of breaking away — from father, from God, from the confines of obedience. Giesbrecht's language is lyrical and unflinching, asking the reader to trace their own revelations and reimagine where holiness resides. In a world shaped by patriarchy and exile, Giesbrecht is ready to be more than a little feral.
So come embrace your own level of feral with this fantastic new collection.
I blossom my umbrella and run —
quick! I won't get you wet! I say this
when I don't know how to love you yet.
