A debut collection of poetry and prose that casts an eye on the severity of the issues that take place in the world dealing with sexism and crime, while targeting the power of the mind and its delusions. Through alarming but intriguing poetry, Athira Suresh aims to use her writing as a way to raise awareness for violence against women, and how trauma manifests in the mind of an individual. Her words are thrilling but powerful, and dive deep into the conversation of loss, pain, delusion, and love. Dead Girl's Summer explores the fine line between reality and delusions, and the role that an individual's mind and media plays into it. At the party they tell me to show my best party trick so I showed them how I can rise a dead girl out of me. -From "Party Trick"
