The poems in If You Keep Making that Shameface... explore how shame shapes women. These poems, by a WV poet, travel the backroads of female identity to unearth the social, cultural, geographic, and personal landscapes where women lose themselves. With brash, heartache, and hunger, this debut collection unearths a time capsule that lays bare the tangled roots and deep rot shame breeds, while discovering some of the vulnerability, savvy, and resilience needed to reclaim the self by dropping the weight of shame.
