This book is full of profound words that make the deepest and darkest parts of our human messiness feel seen, beautiful, heard, and not alone. You’ll want to scream into a pillow, dance in the rain, throat punch that man who hurt you, run along the raging river, hold your best friend just a few more seconds and soak up the sun peacefully in a glade of flowers. Reading this poetry transcends you to these places because feelings you’ve never been able to put to words finally have a space to form and be heard.

It’s is brave and vulnerable to share these parts with the world, and you’ve done it beautifully! I’m very grateful to have heard part of your story, your pain, and your hope.

Chimera opened deeper into my soul with the turn of each page. Kaela is a brilliant poet.

This was a wonderful book. I connected so deeply with the themes in Karla’s poetry. This is a book I will be reading through more than once.
