When I Bleed: Poems about Endometriosis by Maggie Bowyer

challenging emotional sad fast-paced

4.5

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!
