"In Harriet Selina's stunning debut collection, a narrative of loss, grief, and rebirth is unspooled at our feet. These poems are a soft surrender into the highs and lows of a life worth living, comforting without shying away from heartache's brutal reality. What Bliss Remains is a celebration of queer joy, and an ode to love in all its manifestations. This book encourages you to heal as ungracefully as you need to, then shows you exactly how to do it."
-Caitlin Conlon, The Surrender Theory
With tender resolution Harriet Selina's debut collection excavates the joys and sorrows at the heart of our humanness. The poems navigate the intricacies of loss, longing, womanhood, and connection, with accessible lyricism and grace.
In an act of personal revelation that speaks to us all, the collection's breadth and complexity can be captured with one question: In the aftermath of grief and trauma, what bliss remains?
