slowburn: a sapphic poetry collection

by Ama Lee

The middle of the night is for many things—binging a show, playing your favorite game, crying out the hurt, even writing the insomnia away. Like most things, Slowburn was born in the middle of the night, inspired by both the joy of the media Lee loves and the joy of discovering love for themself. These poems are for those whose doubts haunt their every step, for the people whose emotions feel too big or too small. Most importantly, this prose is for those who don’t feel like they fit in at all. Ama Lee manages to walk readers through a year in their life, inspired by a mix of real events and fandom, showing how much a year can really change. This is a story of love and loss, but more importantly, it’s a love story above all else—a Slowburn.

Slow burn for sure!

Very beautiful, could not stop once I started. So many great little lines that really give you deep insight from the poet.

There were a couple poems that I quite enjoyed, but the vast majority did not click with me.
