Official synopsis Publisher
Poems mixed with dolor and drink.
khcollins’s collection, Fermented Musings, is a journey through the darkness of chaos, self-destruction and shame towards the awareness of knowing, acceptance, and eventually liberty. Through the movements of Water, Sugar, Yeast, Spirit and then Water II, the reader is led through this darkness: “my days, a series of little griefs”; “I gnawed at the bark of my torn skin” towards eventually learning “how to make honey from the sticky stuff”, with “rough smoothing out rough” and “smooth roughing out smooth”. The powerful poem, i/xvii/mmxvii, with its rich imagery, beautifully describes this journey towards healing and peace.
