    About the Book

    Edit

    THE HARD SHIT is a poetry zine with twenty witness poems documenting what breaks humans. Third-person perspective throughout—an empathic observer watching terminal diagnosis, dementia's slow erasure, chronic pain's daily grind, treatment-resistant depression, aging parents, miscarriage, suicide's aftermath, job loss at fifty, loneliness that doesn't resolve.
    The poems refuse comfort. No resolution, no hope grafted on where there isn't any. Compressed prose and sculpted white space—architecture, not decoration. Bodies that betray, distances that can't be closed, weight that accumulates without relief.
    It doesn't perform sentiment. Just documents that these things happen, they mark people, and the marks don't optimize away.

    Rachel’s work inhabits the fracture between perception and truth. She writes toward the moment when understanding becomes unbearable—where silence turns into evidence and containment fails. Her fiction rejects sentimentality and prettified realism, choosing instead to witness the unfiltered complexity of human experience: the mess, the control, the quiet brutality of being alive. Her prose is precise, restrained, and emotionally charged—architecture built to contain chaos. Through nonlinear structures and intimate psychological tension, she explores how order disguises decay, how empathy survives under antiseptic light, and how consciousness endures itself. Rachel’s stories don’t seek catharsis; they seek accuracy. To her, writing is not confession or comfort but an act of moral observation: the radical belief that to see clearly, without distortion, is a form of love.
