a face full of flowers
a lyrical and haunting poetry chapbook released by indie publisher Bottlecap Press in July 2025.
This 36-page collection features 19 poems that explore grief, inheritance, myth, and the uncomfortable beauty of decay. Fusing confessional voice with surreal imagery, a face full of flowers maps emotional wreckage with a sharp, intimate edge.
Bottlecap Press, based in Los Angeles, is known for championing bold new voices in contemporary poetry. Hund joins a growing roster of emerging authors whose work is reshaping the boundaries of small press literature.
The chapbook is available for purchase online in both print and digital formats.
a face full of flowers explores detachment, inheritance, and the slow, strange beauty of unraveling. Spanning ten years of work, this collection is divided into three elemental movements—ROOTS, FEVER, BLOOD—that trace the speaker’s descent from quiet disassociation into feral grief, and then toward a mythic reclamation of identity.
Through confessional lyricism, violent tenderness, and fairytale logic, Hund’s poetry probes the blurry edge between dream and memory. Like a wound blooming in slow motion, each poem sings for mercy, reaches for connection, and dares you to bear witness.
