Rage, Rest and Rebirth
by Cassandra Perry
Perimenopause, My Coming of Rage Era is a raw and unapologetic poetry collection that gives language to what so many women experience, yet are rarely allowed to say out loud.
These poems explore rage, grief, exhaustion, awakening, and the fierce reclamation of self that can emerge during perimenopause. They speak to invisible labour, shifting identities, unheard voices, and the moment a woman realises she can no longer carry what was never hers.
This book is not about calming down. It’s about telling the truth. It’s about listening to rage as wisdom, not weakness.
For every woman who has felt unseen, overwhelmed, silenced, or on the edge of becoming someone new, this collection is a reminder that rage can be a beginning, not an ending.
This is honesty on the page.
This is fire with purpose.
This is a woman coming home to herself.
Perimenopause, My Coming of Rage Era is a deeply honest poetry collection that explores the emotional and psychological landscape of perimenopause through raw, unfiltered verse.
Written for women navigating hormonal change, identity shifts, invisible labour, and emotional overwhelm, this book gives voice to feelings often dismissed or misunderstood rage, grief, exhaustion, clarity, and awakening. These poems challenge the idea that women must remain calm, grateful, and accommodating while their inner world is transforming.
This collection reframes rage as information rather than failure. It honours anger as a boundary, a signal, and a powerful catalyst for self-reclamation. Through minimalist, slam inspired poetry, the reader is invited into moments of confrontation, silence, love, loss, and renewal.
Perimenopause, My Coming of Rage Era is not a guide or a manual, it is a companion. A mirror. A permission slip to feel deeply and speak honestly. It is for women who are tired of carrying what was never theirs, who are ready to set boundaries, and who are learning to come home to themselves in a new and powerful way.
This book is an invitation to recognise rage as wisdom, expression as healing, and truth as the beginning of transformation.
