"–we’d rather sit down to bleed at the kitchen table instead of talk because we’re afraid that things might go right for once if we listen to the recommended expiry date."

Bleeding at the Kitchen table, written by first-time author J.P.Spencer, delves into a short collection of harrowing poems about a love that is both grand and ruinous through themes of religion and sexuality.
