Rochester, NY Author Publishes Poetry Collection

"Poems with a Bite Taken Out of Them", a new book by R. Clare Singh, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"Poems with a Bite Taken Out of Them" is a testimony to silent suffering, indoctrination, emergence, and claiming one's identity, all at a steep cost. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2020, Singh uses her inherently amplified experiences to create dramatic vignettes of feelings for her pages, to pass on to readers she has never met. This is a story of loss and regrowth, of allowing a mind to change, and of giving oneself apologies that would otherwise not be received.
