People in Glass Hearts

by Kristina Mahr

They say that people in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones,
but what about people in glass hearts
they used to call homes.

In Kristina Mahr's latest exploration of love and loss, you will get to explore that glass heart from inside of it, hands pressed to the glass, fingertips tracing the cracks. People in Glass Hearts is filled with the emotive poetry Mahr has become known for, alternately leading you gently through the shards and dragging you headlong through them. In either case, though, as you traverse them, you will not be alone.

[J.B. Sharp]

Beautiful words about the universal language of heartbreak. Kristina Mahr has such a beautiful way of writing the pain, it almost makes it all hurt less.

I was so excited to buy this when it came out. Funny enough, my package was lost in transit, so I had to wait for a replacement to be sent. But it was worth the wait!
