Come, Unravel, and Evolve - Winter Whiteoak - a sensual collection

Unnamed feelings grew legs and walked all over my life,

mocking me all the while.

Jokes on them

I am a masochist

and I am into that.

The first one is free.

This poetry collection spans 12 years of growth, change, and coming to terms with the desire to live fully in a world that tells people, especially marginalized identities, how their desire should look. Faced with confronting the difference between our ideas of who we are and the truth of who we are, this collection offers insight into how to face that world and ourselves when we’re at the brink of possibility. For the poet, intimacy is a doorway, offering an opportunity to take ownership of ourselves. This sex-positive collection of erotic, kink-filled, bondage-laden poetry surprises with sweetness, sincerity, and the occasional angst. Just how does intimacy shape us? How can it reflect our unraveling and our becoming? These poems invite you to think about your own evolution while following the author across hers.
