"Pet" is a poem sequence that navigates the reader through the traumatic & transformative journey of domestic abuse and its aftermath.

Written in four parts, "Pet" explores what it means to lose the sense of self to the coercion of violence; the world-shattering revelation, grief, and uncertainty after the escape; the ache of hindsight; and the quiet strength found in healing. Kella Hanna Wayne's debut collection of poems is a story of self-denial and self-discovery; A book of poetry to be read cover to cover, and then over again.

Industry Reviews

"In sharing her journey, Kella offers all of us who have survived abuse the chance to identify complex feelings and process those feelings as we read... Whether you are a "poetry person" or not, this extremely human and accessibly written work will speak to you."

--Phoebe Gildea

"With Pet, Kella has crafted a book that takes the reader inside the profoundly confusing, chaotic, painful, and curious world of intimate partner violence. As a fellow survivor, their poems spoke directly to my soul, some causing my breath to catch at how familiar some of their experiences felt."

--Katherine Grace, writer

"Hanna-Wayne's poems on abuse and the aftermath, are an intensely honest, personal, exploration of violence: sexual, domestic, and self. How she threads the needle and comes out whole... Everything is for the other, it is never enough, until it is. You will re-read this book."

--Laura Lehew, editor of Uttered Chaos and author of Dear John -- and Let Windows Be Windows
