“Just one girl offending everyone around her.”
‘The Realest Bitch Out’ does not hide from the uncomfortable truths of self discovery.
Maja has leapt into the fire of life and lives to tell the tale in this collection of poems. Told unapologetically through the lens of an artist, writer, daughter, Serbian immigrant, lover, friend and Gemini, The Realest Bitch Out offers perspectives that are both heartwarming and confronting.
Hilariously autobiographical, Maja explores the painful and beautiful transformation of adolescence into adulthood through four years of her life, interweaving themes of heartbreak, travel, generational trauma, morality, love, friendship and sexuality.
Never afraid to play devil’s advocate or be politically incorrect, the outspoken poet questions everything and deftly tackles taboo topics with candour and wit. Maja’s poems are urgent, unflinching and often controversial observations of life’s harsh truths, underpinned with unmistakable vulnerability and softness.
The book is a conscious exploration of what it means to grow into your power, own your voice and speak your truth.
