What happens when the life you've built is quickly stripped to the bone? For Crystal Soph, a devastating diagnosis of Stage IV breast cancer arrived alongside the heartbreak of failed love, forcing an unforgiving look at reality. A Spoonful o' Bitters is her stunning collection of 50+ poems that refuse to look away from the anger, pain, and disillusionment that she found has been boiling just under the surface for years.
You may see yourself in these pages if you have ever: • felt the lonely sting of betrayal, • built homes in temporary people, • known the ache of loving the ones deemed unlovable. It finds solidarity in shared heartache and suggests that true healing begins only when we have the courage to conquer our feelings. Beware...this is not a book of happy endings. It is a testament to the brutal, beautiful, and bitter truths of a life examined.
