Grief has teeth

When we think of grief, it's usually connected to the physical death of a loved one. But loss takes many forms - the end of a relationship, career, dream, way of life - and it will touch us all at some point. Yet, we seem to know so very little about how to cope when it does. Grief has teeth is a raw, moving portrayal of love, loss and soul awakening, told across 55 poems and short essays based on the author's life. Beginning from childhood days of 'not fitting in', the collection moves through the darkness of death, heartbreak, violence, illness and trauma, eventually putting the pieces of Self back together and returning to the light and fire of life. This book is both an exorcism and a battle cry, to let others on the journey know they are not alone - and that they, too, can make it home.
