About Fierce
Fierce is her first poetry collection. Starting with Love and progressing through Woman/Goddess, Grief and Body, Lou expresses the fierce joy and pain of being alive. She explores her emotions through her vibrant storytelling, imagery and wordplay. In Lou’s world, fairy tales and myths come to life, and love and beauty will always overcome heartbreak.

This event will be shred on Facebook live and via zoom.
