it'll last longer

a raw, hungry, desperate collection of poems exploring the body, the self, and the animal that lives inside of all of us. author and poet nicole mello explores what makes us us, what is left when the trappings are stripped away, and what matters most to our cores and hearts of hearts.

through a series of twenty-two poems, mello traverses history, dives deep inside, and examines what it means to be a human being. exploring the body, the self, and the mind, these poetic words exist when no others can, becoming emotions manifested in text. an experience awaits inside these pages, and a connection lurks within, and a genuine journey begins.
