Had You Been Listening - Paperback

by Eira Quinn (Author)

In Had You Been Listening, Eira Quinn writes from the place where women are taught to keep quiet, with a voice that refuses to flinch. These poems name what was always happening under the polite surface: womenhood shaped by control, empathy mistaken for weakness, motherhood shadowed by fear, and the slow, hard work of telling the truth without apologizing for it.

For the hyper-aware, the heart-heavy, and anyone who has ever been called too much when they were only finally speaking.
