For anyone learning how to become themselves again. A Funeral of Strangers Gathered Over a Body of Thought is a deeply personal poetry collection about the quiet, ongoing work of becoming.
These poems explore the space where self-inflicted wounds meet the weight of outside judgment--where shame, grief, and expectation settle in the body and refuse to be ignored. With honesty and care, the collection traces what it means to shed old versions of yourself, again and again, in order to keep living.
This is a book for anyone who has had to start over. For anyone learning how to sit with themselves. For anyone trying to believe they are still worthy of a life that feels like their own.
Beneath the hurt and the silence, something steady remains.
McGowan, T. J.
