Soft Thorns

A spoken word poetry collection for dreamers who crave to explore the unknown, through one young woman’s exploration of her darkest times and her path towards healing. Bridgett Devoue’s poetry takes the listener on a journey into the world of love, lust, heartbreak, abuse, and the lessons learned along the way. This collection combines the author’s original poetry as well as her own commentary on her writing process and the backstory of different poems.

Soft Thorns is a poetry collection that takes the listener 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.

Soft Thorns Vol. II is the continuation of author Bridgett Devoue’s debut poetry collection, Soft Thorns, and picks up on her journey of self-discovery and seeking answers to the questions all of our souls inevitably ask. Devoue is not known to shy away from the darkest corners of the human experience; in fact, she dives deep into those waters and allows the listener to explore the shared vulnerabilities that all of us face.
