Be prepared for the skin to be peeled back with this read, exposing the flesh and barebones of the complex soul through a blend of flash fiction, short stories, and poetry. Cutting straight to the chase with raw words that pack a punch, this read goes straight to the heart of the taboo. Depression, suicide, and euthanasia are explored here with no barriers, but the author perfectly balances hard-hitting themes with soft tones of family, love, and ultimately freedom, to make choices in death just as we expect to make choices in life. I’m always drawn to literary work that does not shy away from confronting realities and Pieces of Humanity does not disappoint. An exceptional debut collection from Skylar Wynter.
