Fierce

This ain't your mama's poetry, but I'm your poetry mama!I speak of hearts and flowers, but the hearts are fractured and the roses have thorns.Welcome to the beating of my wild red heart!Lou Steer is a renowned slam poet in Sydney, Australia. She started writing and performing her poems with Caravan Slam and now performs in festivals, theatres, museums and even graveyards. Fierce is her first poetry collection.
