'A beautiful book of poetry...that will cure me.' Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed and Love Warrior
A STYLIST MAGAZINE BEST SUMMER READ 2020
'darling,
you feel heavy
because you are
too full of truth.
open your mouth more.
let the truth exist
somewhere other than
inside your body.'
In this beautifully tender and ambitious debut collection, Hicks-Wilson weaves together more than 150 poems written over the course of seven years into a single one - to form an unforgettable and empowering book-length ode to self-love, perfect for fans of bestseller Milk and Honey and Warsan Shire's For Women Who Are Difficult To Love.
In what reads like an effortlessly honest and lyrical conversation, Hicks-Wilson skilfully takes you on a persuasively healing journey in three parts: diagnosis, treatment and recovery, whilst working through the complexities of pain, love, loss, acceptance, growth and repair with both sensitivity and confidence.
Featuring never-before seen poems and follower favourites, Small Cures is the transformative and soothing bite-sized prescription to both read and gift, every person craving to fall in love after love with themselves has been waiting for.
