We Were More than Kindling follows the speaker’ s reckoning of an intimate history of persistent sexualization and consent violation with the disillusion of coming of age in an era when abuse of power is a feature, not a bug. This collection of poems builds momentum through a cynical premise, following its speaker’ s defiant claim-staking over their own body, agency, and pleasure.
