I Learned to Speak at Age Nineteen

For her debut collection of poetry, Rachael Hamlet presents an intimate reflection on her life up until the age of nineteen. In it, she explores the memories of her emotionally turbulent childhood and adolescence?at times blurring the line between fact and fantasy, truth and myth. Each poem is paired with an original photograph taken by the author. Though created more for herself than anyone else, she presents this emotional collection of poems and photographs?in simple black and white?for your viewing pleasure.
