About this listen

This program is read by Mary Lambert and includes original music exclusive to the audiobook.

Beautiful and brutally honest, Mary Lambert's poetry is a beacon to anyone who's ever been knocked down - and picked themselves up again. In verse that deals with sexual assault, mental illness, and body acceptance, Ms. Lambert emerges as an important new voice in poetry, providing strength and resilience even in the darkest of times.

Mary Lambert is a soul wrenching, thought inspiring, lyrical genius who invokes the listener to feel the emotions and experiences of her journeys in each poem as if they were lived by the listener. This audiobook is a fantastic companion to the artist albums and book. Will definitely listen to again and highly recommend
