The Girl Who Grew Fangs

A Book of Remembering After the Fall Into Shadow

Diana Wallace · 2026

But the soul, like the wolf, does not forget its own nature.

Book II of The Forgetting trilogy. Where The Poet Who Forgot Her Name traced a moon arc — forgetting and remembering by moonlight — this book follows the feral arc: the descent into shadow, the growl that becomes a prayer, and the long clawing return to selfhood.

These 53 poems move through darkening, turning, integration, and return. They are for anyone who has fallen — and found teeth where there used to be silence.

Structure

  1. Darkening — The fall into shadow. The world narrows. The familiar self dissolves.
  2. Turning — Something feral stirs. The body remembers what the mind forgot. Instinct returns before language does.
  3. Integration — The wolf and the woman meet. Neither is destroyed. A harder, wilder wholeness takes shape.
  4. Return — She walks back — not tame, not broken. Carrying everything. Fangs and all.
