It talks of sex, contradictions, and the soft pain of learning to be human passed rippling effects of generational and personal trauma. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"The poems in \u003cem\u003eLeo, Hovering\u003c\/em\u003e are self-aware and deeply personal to where the reader might feel as if they had stumbled upon confessionals in a diary. Breia Gore paints a brutally honest portrait of womanhood against a Florida backdrop, dripping with sunsets, nymphs, prayer, and fits of mania. 'It is a mouthful to call herself a girl at all,' Gore writes, in the poem, 'Rapture,' before musing that it's much easier to say 'black hole' or 'taxidermy.' These poems are dizzy and dreamy, but so carefully rooted in reality.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Lauren Milici\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In \u003cem\u003eLeo, Hovering\u003c\/em\u003e, Breia Gore offers up a collage of familiar images and objects transformed into a photocopy of a dream with the contrast dialed all the way up. These poems steam \u0026amp; shake \u0026amp; sneak up on you with their wit \u0026amp; heart. When Gore begs 'tell them I loved \/ just about everything' I want to whisper that love to everything I touch.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Emily O'Neill\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreia Gore is an Asian-American writer from South Carolina, currently living in Colorado.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer work has appeared in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdolescent\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFlyPaper Lit\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eElectric Moon Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003egiallo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eglitterMOB\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u0026amp; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerhappened\u003c\/em\u003e.
