Her only escape is the dark and lonely streets. Her father vows to find her no matter the cost. Looking over her shoulders, she learns to trust no one as deception lies at every corner. Is freedom just a word? Or can a man named Jesus grant true freedom?

The poems in the second edition of Jessica Walsh's HOW TO BREAK MY NECK are palpable. With tales of mortality, morality, womanhood, and breaths of life often unnoticed or taken for granted, Walsh transfigures words into strokes of paint that blend into a zenful yet heart-wrenching portrait of the world women live in. With new poems not previously seen in the first edition, HOW TO BREAK MY NECK is not only beautiful and mournful, but new, fresh, breathing, and very much alive.
