Remedy

Fallen from the heights of love

to the depths of madness,

she flees to the endless,

wailing moor.

There is nothing here but shadows,

a lantern - her white dress flickering in the wind.

There is nothing here but shadows,

a lantern - and you.

In your hands are her confessions.

Between your fingers, a book of prayers.

Drink the shadows with her -

and you will taste the fullness of light.

Remedy is a collection of poetry for those who refuse to be extinguished. It is a confessional story told in four parts, each mending a different kind of pain. Remedy will take you by the hand through the Falling, Severing, Healing, and Resurrecting - giving you the courage to begin again.

For fans of Rupi Kaur, Lang Leav and Sylvia Plath, the poetry of Remedy effortlessly blends yesteryear gothic romance and modern-day sharpness. This debut from romantic poet Emily Bridget Taylor promises to break your heart only to mend it with lines that fall like incantations - reminding you of your inherent ability to overcome.

Dedicated to those who have been through heartbreak, Remedy is a shield, a binding of wounds, and a reminder of just how strong you really are.

"Heartache and HOPE bind these pages - love and honesty carried me as I read them" - Kathryn
