Advance Praise for Yoni Provenance I read Yoni Provenance from inside a six-sided corner of trauma, and my greatest hope for the book was that I would feel moved by the potency of her language. I hoped maybe I would feel a little seen in my corner, as I knew this book was birthed in part by trauma. "But all birth is painful," the poet remarks in Response to "What Do You Surrender To?" And so, as I read, poem-by-poem, line-by-line, word-by-word, and breath-by-breath, I realized this book was birthed by bravery, by a woman not only uncaging herself from the prison of pain, but staying in the prison corridors long enough to hand us the keys to our six-sided cages, a sacred offering only those who know suffering can give. --Neha Sampat, Founder of Belong Lab
