Exploited Labor: A Poetry Collection for the Mothers Who Were Told to Be Silent
Exploited Labor is not just a poetry book-it's a reckoning.
This raw and unflinching collection dives deep into the untold emotional terrain of early motherhood, postpartum depression, and the invisible weight of womanhood in a society that asks too much and offers too little in return. Written for the mothers silently breaking under the pressure, for the women healing from betrayal, and for anyone who's ever felt unseen in their own story-these poems speak the truths we're told to keep quiet.
With themes of infidelity, identity loss, societal expectation, and the quiet rage of being everything for everyone, Exploited Labor gives voice to the unspoken. It is a book to cry with, scream through, and rise from.
Give it to yourself. Give it to a friend. Give it to the woman who says she's fine but flinches when you ask how she's really doing.
Because sometimes, the most revolutionary act is telling the truth.
