As someone who lives with endometriosis, this book made me feel heard. Maggie Bowyer's writing captures what it feels like to have your body work against you and I'm so grateful for more conversations surrounding women's health. I highlighted the hell out of this book, which I rarely do! Some quotes that stood out to me:
"I miss who I could've been if this disease wasn't wrecking me."
"I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with my body; No one can see the bruises."
"I miss who I could've been if this disease wasn't wrecking me."
"I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with my body; No one can see the bruises."

I never knew endometriosis could be put into words, but in the skilled hands of a talented writer... it happened. If you have endometriosis, read this. Know that you are not alone. If someone you know has endometriosis, read this. It will help you better understand. Maggie did an incredible job highlighting the highs, and bringing the very real lows into perspective. There is sadness and grief, and a little hope. There is isolation and unknowing, as well as love and understanding. Maggie captures it all.

Note: I received this copy free from the author a couple years ago. However, this is not reflected in my review and all thoughts and opinions are mine!
This was a beautiful collection of poems Maggie has written as an endo warrior. Maggie’s poems address difficult topics that are sadly a universal experience for chronically ill folks— such as pain, ableism, medical trauma, loss, and grief. This truly made me feel seen and I tabbed close to 30 poems to save for later validation. Maggie is a remarkable poetry writer!
