It will be available for purchase soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Too Jagged to Hold <\/em>is a luminous and intimate debut that traces the long, spiraling path of recovery after sexual violence. With poetic clarity and fierce tenderness, Kristen Hornung writes from within embodied memory, mapping the shifting terrain of dissociation, grief, attachment, and the slow, alchemical process of healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These poems use vivid imagery and lyrical precision to draw the reader into the paradox of life after trauma: where self-protection meets vulnerability, where despair gives way to resilience, where even the sharpest edges can become sites of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hornung offers no easy resolution; instead, this collection gives presence, honesty, and understanding. It is for anyone who has ever asked themselves, <em>Am I recovered yet?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so excited to share the cover for my debut poetry collection, Too Jagged to Hold, which was designed by Jessica Cvilo.
