A poem on female rage, for the ones who were taught to hold it in. From my book, A History of Holding.

My heart is so full.

I have a new poem out in Coffee + Crumbs this week!

Climbing a mountain in the dark, feral feminine energy and more w/ victoriamoul.bsky.social @suefinch.bsky.social @pi-and-anne.bsky.social @johnglenday.bsky.social @writtenbyallison.bsky.social @carolee.bsky.social @koshtra.bsky.social @aempoet.bsky.social 2/3 www.vianegativa.us/2025/09/poet...

This poem is one of the most personal pieces I’ve ever written. Thank you to everyone in the audience who held it so tenderly.

I swear my poetry feed wants to make certain friends cry.
