Even The Spirits Wouldn't Touch This Gently

By Kara Karalyne H. Whelan

Not every collection is written to soothe. Some are written to wound.

Even the Spirits Wouldn't Touch This Gently is one of them - a descent through ruin, rage, devotion, and the kind of grief that clings like a second skin. This is honest truth that grief and love are siblings.

Award-winning poet Karalyne H. Whelan writes with a blade pressed to the page. These poems fracture love into hunger, devotion into chains, memory into haunting. They speak of addiction, betrayal, inherited rage, silences that choke, and grief so powerful it becomes a religion of its own.

This is not a gentle book. It is a cathedral of absence, a hymn of static, a scripture written in blood and bone. Every page cuts, there is no room to breathe. This title is more than a few words, this title is a warning that this grief, this love, would not be touched by even the most divine spirits. This book swallows you whole just like how grief affects our minds - and still, it dares you to turn to the next page.
