Small Cures

Small Cures is at once a compelling reminder to anyone struggling with heartbreak, mental health, or trauma, that they are not alone, an inspirational manual on how to survive, and a stirring call to arms for self-love. This unique volume brings together 150 poems into one seamless narrative based on the different stages of an "illness" – diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Through words that are as breathtakingly sparse and raw, as they are honest and memorable, Hicks-Wilson's soothing and soulful voice serves as the gentle guide to self-healing we all need.

'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.'
