Bloodwork: An Education in Ruin

By Dr. Stacy Platt

Bloodwork: an Education in Ruin is a confessional journey through the shadowed corridors of love and its aftermath. In these poems, affection becomes both sanctuary and weapon-tenderness curdles into silence, warmth into ash. Each piece bears witness to the slow unraveling of self that follows loss, to the quiet violences of memory, and to the uneasy resurrection that comes after surviving what tried to destroy you.

Written in language both visceral and fragile, the collection captures the contradictions of being human: the desire to be seen and the terror of exposure, the need to forgive and the hunger to burn everything that ever hurt you. These are poems that bleed and do not apologize.
