Desciption
We Slept Here is a case study in vulnerability and honesty. In this sequence of memoir-esque poems, Sierra DeMulder pulls at the threads of a past abusive relationship and the long road to forgiveness. The poems themselves become an act of recovery and reclamation, wherein the poet finds again the voice that was taken from her. These are hard poems, made up of clarity and healing, that attempt to share some of their peace with the world.
Review
Sierra Demulder's button poetry book WE SLEPT HERE packs a hell of a lot of dynamite for not even being 50 pages long. She proves over and over, with each poem, that her ability to write raw and beautiful is a gift truly her own. She does not shy away from any emotions or experiences here, which is one of the many qualities that makes her writing so strong. She is truly one of a kind. I always enjoy reading her work and cannot wait for the next collection to come out.
