Love Me Louder - 9798986078830

"Tyler Hurula's chapbook, "Love Me Louder", cuts a path through a thicket of pain and leaves poetic breadcrumbs for others to find their way home, which is to say, back to themselves. The very existence of this chapbook breaks one family's cycle of violence. In these pages there is an essence of being fed-up, though the grief and rage is rendered in velveteen language. The book's title, Love Me Louder, is a perfect encapsulation of its contents--whether it's a religion, a family member, or a cultural norm--we must use the word 'love' to describe unloving things. The writing is as brave as the author." - Megan Falley, author of Drive Here and Devastate Me [Write Bloody Publishing, 2018]
