Tell Me Where It Hurts: Poems

“I can feel it in my roots; I gave birth, in a nightmare, to unlovable things.

They breed in my belly; tiny birthdays, every day.

I am the undead mother to every single bit of black in this skin prison

my lovers have choked on.”

Goodreads Choice Nominated poet J.R. Rogue’s second poetry collection Tell Me Where It Hurts is a raw, heartbreaking, and honest glimpse into the demons she has faced in her life.

Centering on mental health awareness and the strength to survive childhood abuse, the bestselling author brings to light many of the silent and brutal struggles men and women face.
