Brace for Impact: Collected Poems
By Temple West

About this ebook
An intimate collection of poetry from Temple West, author of the Velvet Trilogy, concerning death, depression, love, sex, family, humanity, young adulthood, and women. At times raw and pointed, Brace for Impact leaves room for hope and the gentle vulnerability of the search for an earnest life.
Author
Temple West
Temple West, debut author of the YA paranormal romance Velvet, is as nerdy in real life as she is on the Twitter. She can sew (poorly), drive stick (please fasten your seat belt), and is in the slow process of acquiring a motorcycle (and motorcycle license, which should, in all honesty, come first). She currently lives in Seattle and is quite content to have no pets, plants, or children to fail at looking after.
