The Ways I Tried to Call You Home

This is a book about near misses; about codependency; about unfinished business. It is about trying to make a home of another person-what that effort gives and what it takes. "The Ways I Tried to Call You Home" is an exploration of what stays long after a relationship has ended. "In "The Ways I Tried to Call You Home", Christina goes beyond the breakup poem, exploring the universe of absence made around another person. This collection is for anyone who has ever held onto someone who might not have been fully there to begin with." - Evan Chelsee, author of Recurring Characters (excerpt) "A passionate, tender love story that pays bittersweet tribute to those magnetic yet tumultuous relationships that shake us, crack us open, and ultimately leave us forever changed." - Nancy Lynée Woo, author of I'd Rather Be Lightning "To read this poetry collection is to witness the beauty, fallibility, and torment of love. Brown's verse is both soft and visceral, peeling back layers of the heart to expose its anatomical and sentimental truths." - Tiffany Michelle Brown, author of How Lovely to Be a Woman: Stories and Poems
