Overview

The debut collection from multi-disciplinary artist, writer, and spoken word artist Shay Alexi. In their first full-length collection, Shay Alexi dreams of a future that wants us back. UNBRIDLED grapples with freedom under the confines of shame, capitalism, and mental illness. Vacillating between poetry and lyrical essay, unbridled is an invitation to pursue a new world within our brains, bodies, and broader communities. A triumphant voyage through the cosmos of the mental health illness, sexuality and girlhood. Electric prose and poems combine to create a dynamic tapestry that will stay with you long beyond the final page; unbridled is quite simply, breathtaking.--Lily Bailey, author of Because We Are Bad Throughout, each poem is an equation; each word is its own special. Alexi is a witch doctor with a skilled perspective to heal or cast spells --oftentimes you are unsure if the author is warning you or calling you in. Either way, unbridled is prime time for unhinged blooming.--Ebony Stewart, author of Bloodfresh Alexi's poetic voice throughout this collection is feminine, strange, and arresting, as recognizable as it is original. A must-have for any fan of Shay Alexi's work.--Clementine von Radics, author of In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive Poetry. Essay. LGBTQ+ Studies. Women's Studies.
