KNOW MY NAME is a deftly written, extraordinary book about becoming whole again after being sexually assaulted. Chanel Miller is a gifted writer, and as she so aptly put, she would have much rather have written about a different subject—however, this was the story she had been given. Fortunately for us, she survived and found the strength to dig deep within herself to shed light on how, as a society, we allow ourselves to live with our heads in the sand, making each of us culpable.

A haunting event arises from the soul. A birth. Eyes barely open. Breathing stops. What does it mean? I feel pain + suffering in words; the words swallow me—break me. There is minimalism in pain. Beauty grows out of pain; living lathers more questions upon life? Is this a poem, a memoir, both? I turn another page—every word fills life to the brim with meaning. Every word moves pain toward what’s next. I understand the profound beauty of discovering.

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant isn’t a brilliant must-read because of Joel’s comedic acumen. It is brilliant because Joel’s glaring humanity, gracing the pages, made me cry.
