There are things we carry with us through life: physical, emotional, metaphorical. A teddy bear you’ve had since you were a child, the resentment at a family member who let you down, the fear which keeps you awake at night. All of these come with a cost. Upset stomachs, sleepless nights, disconnection, anxiety, worry, money, physical costs. These authors have unpacked their baggage and present it to you. These are poems and stories which will sit down and stay with you for a while.
