Boys Have Called Me That Before Tammy Subia

This poetry collection captures the essence of early adulthood-the romantic and sexual relationships, the hopefulness, the despair, and the eventual self-acceptance. The tone shifts back and forth between romantic, angry, nostalgic, inspirational, and even humorous. With these poems, the author depicts all her failed attempts at love (with many boys, and one very special girl), while always trying to remain confident in the belief that who she is is, in fact, enough. These poems are for anyone who's had their heart broken and managed to love again. And for anyone who's just doing their best to navigate their way through this messy world.
