When It Starts to Hurt: a collection of poems

by Rama Kaba

Overview

When life starts to hurt, what do you do?

Do you let the pain destroy you or do you become stronger and conquer it?

Come take this bittersweet journey with Rama, as she examines emotions we are often told to ignore—our ability to feel, understand and deal with pain.

When It Starts to Hurt is composed of three parts that explore how we talk about (or never talk about) death, addiction, mental illness, and harmful relationships.

No topic is too sensitive, or taboo, as Rama challenges the idea of normality and formality, with blunt, laconic and poignant poems.
