by Megan Falley (Author)
Drive Here and Devastate Me is a powerful and honest exploration of love, queerness, and the triumph over shame.
Falley's words shock you with their raw honesty, whether delivered with sharp wit or detailed imagery.
It is evident that the author is not only madly in love with her partner, whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems for, but also with the very essence of language and the power of dismantling shame.
These poems fearlessly tackle pressing issues like gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, and the oppression of women's bodies. Megan Falley's much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry, confronts the complexities of life with unapologetic courage.
