Vase: Bold, sensual, unflinching. Poems of desire, love, heartbreak, and the fierce power of the female body—celebrating what it holds, creates, and gives.
Suddenly, when faced with endometrial cancer, (Sept. 2025), it was as if the archive of my life insisted on being seen. The female vessel—the vase that holds so much, creates so much, carries so much—was under threat, and with that came an urgent, electric clarity. My body spoke. My memory stirred. My heart answered.
Vase , by Author Patti Friday, is a daring, intimate collection of poems spanning decades, exploring desire, love, loss, and the fierce, tender power of the female body. Written in a raw, sensual, and sometimes abstract voice, these poems honor the body as vessel, memory, and source of creation, while tracing the joys, heartbreaks, and revelations that shape a woman’s life. From clandestine youthful encounters to mythic reflections on intimacy, Vase celebrates the fullness of living, loving, and being entirely seen.
