Some Things Are Better Left Said
By Rose Sharon
What does it mean to say the thing you weren't supposed to say? Rose Sharon's debut collection answers that question across thirty-six poems that range from hilarious to devastating, from the gritty particulars of Penn Station at 4:30 a.m. to the interior landscape of dreams, medication, longing, and love.
Some Things Are Better Left Said is a record of a life paying close attention — to the city, to the body, to the moments of connection and disconnection that make us human. Sharon's voice is singular: restless, honest, sometimes raw, always alive. These poems do not arrive polished and indifferent. They arrive the way truth does, a little breathless, a little late, and absolutely necessary.
