<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Over 176 million people have Endometriosis, one of the most painful conditions one can experience. These poems exemplify how painful Endometriosis is while shining a light on the Endo community.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Nearly 200 million people around the world have Endometriosis. It is as common as asthma or diabetes, but we never talk about it. Endometriosis causes full-body symptoms, and is as painful as labor or a heart attack; in fact, it is one of the top 20 most painful conditions a person can experience (NHS, 2018). 1 in 9 menstruators live with this chronic illness (Endometriosis Australia, 2020). Despite often debilitating symptoms, it takes an average of 11 years to get an Endometriosis diagnosis in America. Maggie waited 11 years to get a diagnosis despite being hospitalized for the excruciating pain as early as middle school. Words can be a life raft in the depths of destroyed health. These poems depict Endometriosis as accurately as possible. These poems explain the full-body, whole life, physical and mental toll this illness takes. These poems exemplify what Endometriosis has taken away from millions of us; it also shines a light on the amazing community of warriors who keep fighting every single day.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I want my friendos to feel seen and understood. I want to reach out through a book in the middle of your flare and hold you, hold space for you. And I want you to be able to give this book to your loved ones and say 'see me, please.'" -Maggie Bowyer</p><p><br></p><p>"So many gorgeous poems in this little book. The imagery is visceral and relatable for others who live with endometriosis and similar conditions. I really enjoyed the sense of validation that each poem provided. This is one I'll come back to so I can sit with my favorite poems on bad days." -Bethany Weston</p><p><br></p><p>"When I was approached by the author to read and review this collection I jumped at the idea right away. Reading and health care are my two greatest passions so I was very intrigued to read and review this collection. Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus - the endometrium - grows outside your uterus.</p><p><br></p><p>When I Bleed in a poetry collection in which the poems depict Endometriosis as accurately as possible. These poems explain the full-body, whole life, physical and mental toll this illness takes and the author uses this collection to tell us her experience living with this condition.</p><p><br></p><p>This poetry collection is one of the best ones I have ever read, the writing style is not only beautiful and impactful, the emotions the author portrays are so raw, heartbreaking and honest. I don't suffer from endometriosis, however I was able to deeply empathize with the author and her story.</p><p><br></p><p>I was really moved by this collection, each poem made me feel something and I was truly blown away by the depth and writing of each poem, each word served a purpose and I was very quickly emotionally invested in it. I am confident that if I was so moved by this collection without suffering from endometriosis I can only begin to imagine how someone who suffers from this condition will feel.</p><p><br></p><p>I am truly grateful the author decided to share her story, to share what it is like to have a condition that not many people are familiar with. I truly recommend that everyone should read this collection even if you don't have endometriosis, everyone in my opinion, can learn something from this book." -Pao Vilchis</p><p><br></p><p>"As someone who lives with endometriosis, these poems hit the center of my heart. It's like Maggie wrote out my experiences, it gave me chills." -Renee Papish</p><br>
