Haley Hutchinson’ s, Her Womanhood of Mine, is a chronicle of a girlhood painted by the tastes, pains, and folds of the body. It is a love letter to place, a yearning for the past, and an eventual understanding of the raw grittiness of existence. These poems sing with the blue messiness of coming into one’ s self, the growing and waning of relationships, and the appreciation for simplicity. Rich with experiences both familiar and nuanced, Her Womanhood of Mine invites us to sit with ourselves, to notice, to muddle, to bloom.
