Wailing On Whisper Street by Bree Bailey
Wailing On Whisper Street by Bree Bailey
Rooted in the experiences of a young Latine mother, Bree Bailey's Wailing on Whisper Street is all tenderness and teeth.
Bailey skillfully navigates themes like sexism, impoverishment, feminism, working-class struggles, and mental health with a gutsy, unapologetic voice. She reclaims the painful words and furious cries that almost broke her, because silence is not an option, and awareness is a beacon in the dark.
Wails, whispers, and wounds make a profound sound. Grab your copy of Wailing on Whisper Street today.
until I saw the shadows of someone who looked celebrity
and looked mirrored madman monster
and looked at me
and I caught a bus home alone,
too poor for pirates to rob my pretty.
