Collection: PBSJ

Beautifully Imbalanced is a compelling collection of poetry. In every word and verse I could feel and relate to most of the author’s struggles and triumphs.

DaShay Carter’s open-hearted approach is refreshing and every line carries the weight of past trauma, resilience and hope.

The book is an honest and raw exploration of trauma, healing, and the complexities of human emotion. DaShay’s voice is striking in it’s vulnerability and strength. She does not shy away from difficult topics — be it loss, abuse, neglect, heartbreak or what it means to be human. I admire her ability to transform it all into art.

My favorite poems are THEM, I Get Excited, Seasonal, Petty Betty and Dear Child.

Overall, Beautifully Imbalanced is a deeply moving and thought-provoking collection of poems that I feel are relatable for women beyond definable generation and circumstance.
