We Need To Talk is a poetry collection on sexual violence, survivorship and solidarity. We Need To Talk instead looks at gender-based violence structurally, taking Agnes's own experiences as a starting point to discuss the normalization of sexual violence in contemporary society. Agnes pulls no punches in this frank and honest collection, and she is right. We do need to talk about this.

'A book of rage and hope, revolutionary and sanguine. Anger has never been more beautiful. Agnes Torok has given us an essential guide to surviving sexual terrorism and gender based violence, and a map to navigating the darkest and loneliest places within our culture.This book is the sound silence makes when it breaks. This book has come to reclaim our stories.' - JOELLE TAYLOR
