Poetry Chapbook, Finishing Line Press, 2020
Breia Gore erupts out of adolescence and into young adulthood. This debut poetry chapbook contains confusing girlhood, sweet summer fruit, and vivid identity. Her unsubtle language is both so stubborn and irresistible, its genre seems confessional at times, "Being a woman has made me ancient" and "Every time I visit the ocean, I think I am hallucinating". Gore adds a sarcastic twist to Southern writers and lays out a harsh brilliance as a woman. These poems are proof of the permanence of trauma and that the irreplaceable self can exist even when you are so young, but Gore processes it all. She works towards understanding "why humans fold themselves in half all day long".
Poetry Chapbook, Bottlecap Press, 2020
"Leo, Hovering" is a personal telling of exciting feelings piled on exhausting feelings, what love is on some days and what it isn’t on others, and how a sarcastic woman handles newfound stigma. It talks of sex, contradictions, and the soft pain of learning to be human past the rippling effects of generational and personal trauma."
