Don't Read These Poems Aloud

Don't Read These Poems Aloud is an exploration of cultural identity, and how it presents itself on our tongues, our bodies, and our practices of love and religion. In these deeply personal poems, Cheyenne Marcelus examines lineage, legacy, and healing. Employing evocative language and vivid imagery, she illustrates the many intersections of culture and lived experience, and invites readers to reconcile their own painful memories they dare not speak aloud.
