In Milk & Honey, Emma Steel writes like water finds its way - around obstacles, through grief, toward whatever comes next. These poems move between the mythic and the intimate: a year she'd rather forget, the debts life exacts without asking, and the quiet, radical choice to offer one kind word instead of one more wound. Steel's voice is unflinching but never bitter. Milk & Honey is a collection for anyone learning to flow rather than fight the current - honest about what hurts, generous about what heals.
