Loose Girls Henley Worthen

Loose Girls is a non-fiction poetry book that moves through the stages of female metamorphosis from childhood to divine womanhood. The first section walks the reader through childhood trauma, early sexual identification, puberty, and family. The second is a cocktail of love songs, heartbreaks, sexual exploration, and a first-hand account of assault and the legal proceedings thereafter. The third and final section is a self-love anthem that celebrates all aspects of the feminine, from young maiden to wise mother, and draws the book to a victorious and uplifting end.
