Some Things Are Better Left Said

What does it mean to say the thing you weren't supposed to say? Rose Sharon's debut collection answers that question across thirty-six poems that range from hilarious to devastating, from the gritty particulars of Penn Station at 4:30 AM to the interior landscape of dreams, medication, longing, and love. Some Things Are Better Left Said is a record of a life paying close attention — to the city, to the body, to the moments of connection and disconnection that make us human. Sharon's voice is singular: restless, honest, sometimes raw, always alive. These poems do not arrive polished and indifferent. They arrive the way truth does, a little breathless, a little late, and absolutely necessary.
