This week’s post is a poem that was featured in Pen & Quill’s first issue, and it’s one that I actually wrote for part of my final year university coursework, so I hope you enjoy it! One of the editors, Jamie Kim, called it “A captivating poem about self-destruction and rebirth” – and you can read the rest of the editor’s comment in the issue if you’re interested! This poem does contain somewhat graphic but brief descriptions of body parts, so feel free to skip this one if that doesn’t sound like the sort of thing you want to be reading right now. But if it sounds right up your street, then here is the poem for this week!
