The Devil Knows My Name.

The Devil sits and listens. Across many chapters of spoken-word confession, a woman answers his questions about the childhood that made her - the footsteps she learned to study, the anger nobody let her grieve, the love that arrived disguised as danger. The Devil's Burden is a raw, incantatory collection of poetic dialogue exploring survival, addiction's collateral damage, and the long work of breaking a cycle instead of inheriting it. Written as a rhythmic call-and-response between a woman and the Devil himself, it doesn't ask for pity - it demands to be heard. This is not a book about being broken. It's about what gets built in the empty spaces after - and about becoming the person your younger self would have felt safe running towards.Contains themes of childhood trauma, domestic violence, and addiction. A woman answers the Devil's questions about the childhood that shaped her, the anger it left behind, and the mother and woman she chose to become instead. Raw spoken-word poetry on survival, motherhood, and rebuilding.
