Death is a Tease

Brianna Malotke brings us another powerful collection looking at different types of relationships: the self and the inner child, family ties, kinship, friendship, and other loved ones we hold dear.

Join Malotke's exploration of the healing process as they deal with love and loss. Whether it's celebrating a new relationship, trying to heal your inner child's wounds, or grieving for someone who's gone, this poetry collection dives into the intense emotions that people experience as they try to find a place for themselves in this chaotic world.

“With delicate precision and unflinching courage, Brianna has captured the essence of human vulnerability and resilience in a way that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable.”
