Blood Drawn & Hung Out to Dry

Raw, Unflinching, and Brutally HonestIn their debut poetry collection, Blood Drawn & Hung Out to Dry, Charlotte Agustin invites readers into the messiness of human emotion-from heartbreak and obsession to grief and self-discovery-with a voice that is both vulnerable and fiercely unapologetic. Their poems speak directly to those who have experienced invisible ailments, tumultuous relationships, and the struggle to find solid ground in a constantly shifting world.Through dated entries that read like diary confessions, Agustin transforms private pain into universal connection. Their words capture the chaotic beauty of a mind wrestling with itself-where thoughts "bang and bash on my amygdala" and where love can be both salvation and destruction.Agustin hangs their heart out to dry, exposing both the bloodstains and the beauty marks that make us who we are.
