Allison Relyea's debut book, Medicine, serves, like medicines do, not to cure, but to ease. To support. It is collection of fragments, prose, and poems written during a period of learning what it means to build self-reliance. Taking the darkest parts of ourselves to create our own light. Nothing in life that stops has a proper ending. Most people leave in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of life, which is why Medicine is written in fragments. The art work illustrates what cannot be seen, but felt.
