Publisher Description: We Slept Here is a case study in vulnerability and honesty. In this sequence of memoir-esque poems, Sierra DeMulder pulls at the threads of a past abusive relationship and the long road to forgiveness. The poems themselves become which was taken from her. These are hard poems, made up of clarity and healing, which attempt to share some of their peace with the world. |
