Questions We Didn’t Ask Out Loud (E-book)

‘It sends electricity up your spine.’ 

William Wordsworth once defined poetry as ‘the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.’ 

Mars Hetherson, through innovation in form and word choice, wrote this evocative bundle which provokes in the reader a range of intense emotions:  From joy to sorrow, anger to love. The poems surprise the reader with ‘Ah-ha!’ experiences and give revelation, insight, and understanding of elemental beauty and truth. 

Mars Hetherson is a lesbian poetry writer, and this bundle represents her struggle in a world where only one belief system was law.   

‘This tells the story of my silence,’ Mars writes in the introduction. ‘I am now ready to cut out the dead child from within and show her to the world.’

Through these 25 sensitive and raw poems, we enter Mars’s world. We learn that people from the LGBT community can be treasures to society – a blessing that we might easily miss if we do not stop and engage for a while. 

‘Questions We Didn’t Ask Out Loud’ is intelligent writing and a compass to true morality. So, stop, read, and reflect. You won’t be sorry.
