Inherited Hunger

Beautiful, relatable poetry. I stayed up all night just to finish reading it.

This is such an amazingly written book. It's heartbreaking and painful but worth reading every word.

very unhappy and waiting on a replacement that is SEALED, i hope

A powerful memoir that punches you right in the heart. Roxane Gay writes with clarity, vulnerability, and fierce honesty. Every chapter is haunting and beautiful. One of those reads you finish... and then think about for days. Required reading.

the pain is so deep i'm so sorry you had to go thru this would read over and over again

A very deep book if you want to work on yourself, overcome your past and understand your life. Tough to digest at times but so helpful. I am thankful beyond words that I finally get to understand where my struggles come from. I also recommend her other book, My mother's rage, my father's eyes

It was a really good book. It is a quick read and everything is so relatable!

I cannot say enough or eloquently enough about Rose Brik's poetry. It is devastating, it is raw. It is real. It is my childhood, it is my adulthood, it is me as a mother. I paint the pages with my tears and keep reading. Her second book of poetry is utterly beautiful. I could only fathom writing the way she does. She knows me to my core. All of the mother and father wounds she writes of are my own. I cannot praise her enough. I am so thankful she writes and has published not one but two literary works now. It has helped me heal reading these words. Nothing I could say could even come close to how much it helps to read these words. It is so cathartic to know I am not alone. 10/10
