The Body Keeps The Poems

THE BODY KEEPS THE POEMS is a raw, unflinching poetry collection that refuses to look away from the wounds that shaped it. Pretty Word Beast cracks open memory, trauma, survival, and the quiet violences that live beneath the skin and she does it with a voice that is sharp, cinematic, and impossible to forget. These poems don’t ask for permission.They don’t soften the truth. They don’t offer redemption where there was none. Instead, they expose the places where the body remembers what the mind tried to bury; the bruises, the silences, the childhoods cut short, the love that felt like punishment, the danger that lived inside the home, and the person who learned to survive by disappearing. Structured in four stark, image‑driven sections, this collection moves like a heartbeat through harm, hiding, awakening, and annihilation. Each section is marked by symbolic black‑and‑white artwork that deepens the emotional impact and pulls the reader into the world of the poems without a single word spoken. This is not a healing book. It is a witnessing. A reckoning. A body remembering itself out loud. For readers who crave poetry that is honest, visceral, and beautifully devastating, THE BODY KEEPS THE POEMS is a collection that will stay with you long after the final page.
