#1 New York Times bestseller Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity.
The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose. Deals with a different pain. Heals a different heartache. Milk and Honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look.

the hurting伤之忆

the loving爱之邦
the breaking是支离破碎
the healing疗愈之旅

how is itso easy for you

to be kind to people he asked
milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered
cause people have not
been kind to me
the first boy that kissed me
held my shoulders down
like the handlebars of
the first bicycle

he ever rode
i was five
he had the smell of
starvation on his lips
which he picked up from
his father feasting on his mother at 4 a.m.
he was the first boy
to teach me my body was
for giving to those that wanted
that i should feel anything
less than whole
and my god
did i feel as empty
as his mother at 4:25 a.m.
