The Vicious Kind

＂I think I always knew it would end like this. Surrounded, yet alone. It’s how I’ve spent my whole life, really. They say that no man is an island, and perhaps they mean that. But I assure you, no one has ever said that about a woman.

Women are islands off the coast of Man. We can still be seen from the shore. We are often still considered a part of the mainland, but we aren’t really a part of it, are we?＂

The debut poetry collection from Krysta Fitzpatrick.

Breathing life into the truths of womanhood and the female form, The Vicious Kind explores the struggles of childbirth, relationships with parents, and the lies that society is built on.

Lies that our parents tell us.
Lies that our society tells us.
Lies that we tell ourselves.
