(Author)
Description
Infusing the everyday with unflinching honesty, Sky Mykland's debut collection, Someone I Can Hold Gently, dispenses with convention at every turn but never sacrifices accessibility. With style rooted in spoken-word, Mykland's revelatory poems grow the conversation around neurodiversity, abuse, neglect, and growth. Discover alongside the speaker as they wade through the ripples of childhood pain into young adult experience, as they tinker with the ever-elusive puzzle of self-love within the mirrors of foundational relationships.

About the Author
Reviews
Someone I Can Hold Gently serves as a reminder - sometimes gentle and sometimes not - that You (whoever You are) are worthy of this world and all the love it has to offer. With a deft skill and appreciation for poetry's ability to crackle in the air, Mykland showcases stunning forms and focus. These poems are closely observed and brimming with life, small brilliant displays all sharing a distinct clarity of vision: Yes, we've been hurt before and we may be again, but ultimately, we are here to share those bright moments. To hold and be held and behold.
