Skin Burn

By Grace McClung

Skin Burn is a deep exploration of life, meaning, connection and self-discovery. Many of the poems touch on themes of longing, introspection and the search for understanding and identity. Broken into four sections, Skin Burn reflects a desire to break free from constraints, both internal and external, in order to find authenticity and fulfillment. The first section, "To Live," discusses life and existence through the lens of the natural world. "To Long" uses vivid narratives about various emotions to address belonging. "To Love," the third section, highlights the female experience and tackles the weight that is vulnerability and intimacy in relationships. "To Be" is the final section, and it includes poems about growth and self-understanding. In her first collection, Grace McClung asks what it is to be human. Her poems are rich with truth and language that encourages readers to consider their own humanity and existence in this world. Skin Burn delves into the intricacies of human emotions and attempts to map a path towards self-acceptance.
