I’ll Bet You’re Wondering Where I’ve Been
My poor Unleashed readers, I have neglected you. I could blame having four books published in one year and all the effort that has taken.

| I really didn’t want to finish this book. I wanted to stay on the trail with these three young women who bumbled and stumbled their way along the John Muir Trail from Mt. Whitney to Yosemite, but they reached their goal and now they’re grown women w ...more | |

| I love this poetry collection. Sanders cleverly works a pocket into every poem, but these poems are about so much more than that, from a coveted pair of Levi’s to her father’s kidney transplant. The poems are accessible, layered, and often surprising ...more | |

“I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
