Poetic Confessions

Poetic Confessions is a collection of poems that capture HER story as women embark on the challenges of life as they age. It is in the moments she thought everything could break her-depression, hard and lost pregnancies, even lost children, lost loved ones, broken relationships, loss of our youthful bodies, and even the loss of herself in trying to do it and be it all that she finds a new version of herself. No matter the path in life, all will begin to carry grief and burdens of the things faced. Throughout that journey, she struggles to break patterns and set boundaries and do her work on herself to make sure she doesn’t create further collateral damage as a result of all that she must carry. Poetic Confessions celebrates the resiliency of the middle-aged woman because none of them got here without something that shook who they were, sent them tumbling off the edge of their world, and led them on a journey to find their way back. That woman who emerges on the other side is a woman worth celebrating.
