"It was barely July and I had just stopped loving you / in the small, precious way that you needed. / I used to be made of wolf’s blood and sea water. / My veins carried this to my hands, / lips and legs. It flowed through me with the moon. / I told you, you used to be precious, magic." Cover art by Rachel Piwarski.

These poems are not about escapism; they are about noticing, existing inside of what ails you. In this book “Someone is looking in this mirror,/ searching the dark.” Through darkness, The Most Common Symptom is Pain seeks balance, knowledge of the self, and a best practice, a type of maintenance for a life that’s worth living: “you will know how to name the sea, the sky, the stars, and you will know what to do with them.” These poems are aching, but they are reaching; they are dishwater and dust and sunlight on a scrappy little garden. They are asking for a way to change. They are a secret discourse reminding you that “The trick to seeing a unicorn is forgiveness.” Cover art by Rhiannon Admidas Conley Available Now from Bottlecap Press! https://www.admidas.net/contact-1 daily 0.75 2020-01-08 https://www.admidas.net/about-rhiannon daily 0.75 2020-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365f02a8494f0001bb8b0e/1578515278498-0NLJFWSMAODHHG4ALBG9/10514679_698386550245449_8027871836291313446_n.jpg ABT RHIANNON
