(Un)Tethered: A Collection of Poems

You bit me,
And when you lost your tooth,
You blamed me.

I guess self-awareness
Is for people with canines
Instead of fangs.


S. V. Segal’s debut poetry compilation, (Un)Tethered, pulls us into moments of conflict—both internal and external—and self-reflection as it explores universal themes of love, loss, death, growth, fear, and self-realization. But despite the timelessness of these themes, the poems are also distinctively Segal’s, conveying their unique experiences, depth of feeling, and struggles with identity and relationships. A striking collection that will embed in your memory.
