Abstract

jade king's poems remind us that there’s magic in the mess and that even within the shadows of pain and despair, there’s a world waiting to be birthed into being. A work of immense bravery and skill, this is a collection of deep vulnerability, and as such, a dazzling act of unapologetic resilience. Sucker Punch is a debut as thrilling and powerful as its title, a necessary and profoundly beautiful meditation on survival, strength and perseverance.
