POETRY COLLECTION (2022)
“...a gorgeous feast of sadness, vulnerability, and the intimacy of pain. It’s not a secret poetry can be and often is an emotional tourniquet, but this collection bleeds in a way I haven’t experienced in quite some time...simply put, I was in awe of the funeral Slaughter created and it felt like a honor to bear witness.”
POETRY COLLECTION (2019)
“A poem can slice you right open and get down to something inside you like the very core of a jawbreaker and linger there. Here, Slaughter melts loneliness down; she writes of wandering through a world where none of us and all of us are truly alone.”
