The Sensitive Animal is a deeply personal and raw poetry collection by Desmarie Rodriguez, in which though vivid imagery, Rodriguez explores the complexities of what it means to be on a road of self-discovery. Every poem is some more insight on the delicate balance between being vulnerable and being strong. It captures themes such as deep introspection, family and faith.
A voice that is confessional and that demands for you to think. These poems navigate mental health, the long term effects of trauma and the beauty of everyday life. From gentle aches of nostalgia to the bold reclamation of one's own story. This book is an invitation to witness the tender power of self-exploration.
