Synopsis

What is your soul if not longing?
What is this longing if not an ache?
And what is this ache if it transcends your bones?

The Cruelty of a Door is a collection of poems that dares you to ask what it is you're really chasing, to exchange your breathless pursuit for a lullaby of contentment, and to rest in the hope that sunrise is coming.

"Poetry that cracks your heart open and stitches it back up again. R.C. Lloyd has crafted another glorious collection of prose, serving as instructions in the art of surrender."
- Erin Forbes, Author of the Fire & Ice book series

"Come with Lloyd as she explores the space between the beginning and the end. She dissects want, tries a few doors, opens her heart, and ultimately settles into the unknowing nature of life."
- Nathaniel Luscombe, author of When One World Ends, Another Begins

"The Cruelty of a Door lifts the veil to engage with what so many of us are keeping inside. R. C. Lloyd walks into our hearts bravely and describes gently the familiarities we all share. This collection is something we all need more of, to acknowledge what we didn’t know how to in ourselves. This is a piece of love, to be understood."
- Feroza, singer/songwriter
