I’M SO FUCKING PSYCHED TO FINALLY REVEAL THE OFFICIAL COVER OF MY VALENTINE’S DAY CHAPBOOK!!!! My sister, Kelsey Schreck [who also designed the cover of Belly of the Beast], knocked it out of the park, yet again.
We’re getting close to the release of this little baby so I just want to remind you that this book is LIMITED EDITION! Orders will CLOSE at the end of January and they will not reopen! This is your one and only chance to get your hands on it.
Oh, and did I mention? EVERY single copy will be signed!
A small, intimate collection of love poetry–My Mother Didn’t Know follows the story of “You” and “Me” in the early stages of their budding relationship. The book centers around the idea of preservation of self and control over one’s own body within the context of a loving relationship. A perfect collection for Valentine’s Day: My Mother Didn’t Know prioritizes soft feelings, open communication, and new love.
You can order your copy here, through Etsy, for only $10 + shipping!
This book is made entirely of BRAND NEW poetry! Never before posted or even performed anywhere else!

"So love didn’t taste like you wanted.
So love was all liquor and sweat,
all badly timed..."
So love was all liquor and sweat,
all badly timed apologies,
all bruises on the inside.
So love was uglier than the movies,
hungrier than the stories.
So love took you down
to the corner store,
on the edge of town,
and left you in the lot
for the wolves.
So love was rough on you.
It was rough on me, too.
I’ve got a box full of teeth
that are only half mine.
I’ve got an empty violin case
for a rib cage.
Love left me out in the wilderness,
like food for the birds,
and I crawled my way home
with their beaks in my blood,
and I made it.
So come here. Let me love
those bruises out of you.
You can kiss my teeth
back into their sockets.
We’ll love like children
with a box of bandages–
we won’t ask where it hurts.
We’ll just kiss everywhere.
I can’t love the battle scars all the way better,
but I can love you the best way I know how to.
I can love you with all that I have.
(I never knew love was so soft until
I knew the soft loving of you.
I’d never loved with anything softer
than my hands.)”
- ROBIN’S EGG HEART(BREAK), by Ashe Vernon (via latenightcornerstore)
