Wild/Hurt: Poems

Wild/Hurt by Meg Ford takes the abstract 'journey' of trauma recovery and makes it concrete with interactive poetics. The reader can follow multiple paths that mirror the choices, experiences, and struggles one makes when reclaiming themselves in the face of sexual abuse. While being intensely personal, Wild/Hurt moves resonantly through memory and healing in a way that can speak to many survivors. Through its hardships and suffering, this collection comes to realize and love the intimate parts of itself. Ford's work encompasses a survivor's entire personhood--growing from their trauma, discovering and celebrating queerness, and living and loving with disability.

Wild/Hurt is a rich, heartfelt collection that makes the reading an experience, telling a new, remarkable story with each reread.
