Soft Thorns: A Journey Through Pain and Healing

The poetry living within these pages tells stories of love, heartbreak, freedom, oppression, sexual assault, sexism, hope, and humanity. Our darkest times are where we grow the most, so in this book, i share mine, and together we learn how to heal.

Soft Thorns is a poetry collection that takes the reader on a journey through a young woman's life--from reckoning with her looks and sexuality to dealing with the trauma of sexual assault, and finally through the highs and lows of young love found and lost. Bridgett Devoue shares her raw, human story and the lessons learned from living a life fully.

What Makes This Poetry Collection Unique

This collection stands out for its unflinching honesty and vulnerability. Bridgett Devoue doesn't shy away from difficult topics including sexual assault, sexism, and the complexities of young love. Each poem serves as both a personal testimony and a universal connection point for readers navigating similar experiences.

The book addresses multiple themes that resonate with contemporary readers: trauma recovery, self-acceptance, feminine empowerment, and the healing power of vulnerability. Whether you're working through heartbreak, processing past trauma, or seeking connection through shared human experiences, these poems offer both comfort and catharsis.

  • Readers seeking authentic voices in contemporary poetry
  • Those on a healing journey from trauma or heartbreak
  • Fans of raw, confessional poetry collections

i've always had the urge to write for as long as i can remember. my earliest writing memory is from middle school, when we had to write a poem for a class assignment. naturally, i was drawn to writing about my darkest, most vulnerable experiences. my poem was voted best in the class, and i got to read in front of the entire school. i received a standing ovation and realized that my words could make others cry, not out of sadness but out of connection.

as life went on, i eventually stopped writing, spending the next few years making mistakes & learning, on repeat. after a breakup, job change, and a sudden onset of chronic pain, i found myself overwhelmed by life. writing became more than an escape: it was healing me. i began sharing my work on instagram, and the feedback i received was life changing. knowing that others not only appreciated my work but also related to it inspired me to continue to write, finally culminating in my first book, soft thorns.
