Brute by Emily Skaja
A spare, fierce collection of poems that interrogates the female body, pregnancy, motherhood, and the violences—bodily, social, and historical—that shape women's lives. Using plainspoken yet striking imagery and recurring biblical and mythic motifs, the speaker traces grief, rage, desire, and the physical realities of gestation and loss while searching for language and agency in the face of inherited trauma. The work moves between tenderness and brutality to insist on the political and emotional weight of embodiment.
