(Un)Tethered

A Collection of Poems

S.V. Segal

You bit me,

And when you lost your tooth,

You blamed me.

I guess self-awareness

Is for people with canines

Instead of fangs.

S. V. Segal’s debut poetry compilation, (Un)Tethered, pulls us into moments of conflict—both internal and external—and self-reflection as it explores universal themes of love, loss, death, growth, fear, and self-realization. But despite the timelessness of these themes, the poems are also distinctively Segal’s, conveying their unique experiences, depth of feeling, and struggles with identity and relationships. A striking collection that will embed in your memory.

S. V. Segal grew up wandering the aisles of bookstores wishing to see their own writing on the shelves someday. Now that (Un)Tethered has fulfilled this dream, they will request that each reader who comes upon this book join their loyal army of mischievous henchmen. Health benefits and spiritual enlightenment included.
