Product Description
by Molly Wentzel (Author)
A poetry book by Molly Wentzel filled with anger, heartbreak, betrayal and injustice. There's no uplifting words to be found here, only validation that you are not alone with your pain. These poems contain the cold hard emotions and perspectives that come with navigating the bitter pitfalls of life. Healing and grieving is not a straightforward process, it's messy, confusing and unpredictable, and it takes us to depths we're at times not certain we can survive. Sometimes the only way through the pain is to express all of its unpleasantness, bitterness and resentment.
My Name Means Bitter is a place of solace for those who are tired of being told to look on the bright side, be the bigger person, or just be grateful. These poems allow readers to let their own grief, anger and hopelessness flow without shame. The bright side will always return, but for these moments, writer and reader can linger in their darkness safely.
