Got me at ''One of the first rules of a kitchen, is that you never try catching a falling knife''.

That last line will never not give me chills

Brenna is phenomenal. Her work is always amazing.

This is the most beautiful, the most ugly, the most painful thing I've ever listened to.

i'm looking to use this poem in an anthology for an assignment for school. is there anyway I can get a written copy of this piece?

[@KaylaBrown14]

What poem of Desireé Dallagiacomo's was this after?

[@brennatwohy2948]

It's inspired by Desiree's "One Side of an On-Going Dialogue with Sharon, My Therapist".

[@reaganpratt8083]

I love all her poems. What does it mean that she said after Desiree something before she started?

[@SlamFind]

When a poet says “after [name]”, they are acknowledging that their poem was inspired by another poet/poem. It’s a way of giving credit where credit is due while also guarding against someone thinking they ‘stole’ their poem/line/etc from an existing work.
