Lara Coley delivers her debut poetry collection with a hunger that gnaws at the line between lust and love. It's sexy, honest, and does not shy away from what makes us human: a yearning to love and be loved.

How, sometimes, we make ourselves into red flags and wave until we become flames that burn down everything we wanted. Coley looks at loss and lust and how desperately we want to sculpt both of those into love, and how the less we get, the more we want, need, and demand. ex traction is an empowering, emotional, evocative read that you can't miss.
